You might want to repost this in the "Smith & Wesson Serial Number Search" thread under "Revolvers".
This type of revolver is called a "top break" by S&W enthusiasts. I'm not a great expert on the top breaks, something about this revolver doesn't look right to me- the topstrap seems a little "off".
Real .38 Double Actions- the S&W revolvers that this most closely resembles- were very widely copied, notably by H&R, by Iver Johnson under their own name and the trade name U.S. Arms, and by various Spanish companies.
