You know, given how sharp that trademark looks under the thumb latch, I would not at all be surprised if this gun was in original finish.

It's virtually impossible to refinish one of these old Smiths without seriously damaging the logo during polishing.

Unfortunately, the pictures you posted of the barrel markings are undecipherable.

If you're using a digital camera, read the manual and figure out how to turn the macro feature on to get good pictures of fine, close up details.
