"I suspect the Spanish simply copied the marking on an early S&W M&P model which was marked that way."

Hum... Possibly a very good bet.

Which, to the best of my knowledge, would mean that it would be one of the earliest Military and Police Models (sometimes called the Model 1899 S&W).

It was, to the best of my knowledge, the only S&W revolver ever so marked.
