You have a WW2 era Military & Police made for British commonwealth forces. Looks like someone took a grinder to it

Welcome to the forums from the cotton and peanut covered plains of the Wiregrass! That is a .38 Military & Police, Model 1905, 4th Change made around 1921, perhaps late 1920.

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! Show us a picture of the label on the box.

I just found this forum looking for this exact info... I have a S&W Model 13 .357 magnum with a 4" barrel. I also have the original box if that matters. The serial number is AFL9342. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit to add this pic
By the serial number it should be a1984-85, but if post the label Guy can pin it down to a more exact date. The model 13 is selling for good money these days and having the original box adds to the value so don't lose it

Thanks! I pulled the box out and remembered that I duct taped the corners probably 20 years ago. I'm sure that doesn't help. I keep it in a Triple K leather holster. I also have the original paper for it. 3 pics attached

Well, Joe, those pictures are interesting. But we need a picture of the label pasted on one end of the box. It should be white with the model, serial number, product code and features listed.

Please don't store the gun in a holster. Not only does leather retain moisture, but tanning chemical residue in the leather will eventually damage the finish

I see that the serial number on the box does not match the serial number on the gun.
No, but it is for the same model within a few hundred units. So, we can say the box was made for a Model 13 in 1984 day 349...Friday December 14. Your gun would have been made later that month or in early January 1985.
