Prior to 1942 I would think. That is the serial #, not the model. Mine is a little over 100000 and I from early 1942.

What is the value of a model 24 Smith & Wesson revolver with a 4" barel? It has never been fired.
With the brief description that you have supplied,I would say that you have a SMith and Wesson model of 1905 4th change revolver.
For a Smith and Wesson revolver in stainless steel that shoots short bullets, you might need a 380 caliber pistol or a S&W 32 caliber revolver.
