"Ditto, but the OP's statement that the barrel rollmark reads .38 S&W SPL."

That's actually a problem, I think.

Original Model of 1905 Fourth Change snubs should have the barrel marked ".38 Special CTG" on the right as the pre-war marking.

A 400K range serial number would put it in the early 1920, I would think.
