Thanks for the info!
The serial number would indicate a .38 M&P Model of 1905 1st Change made in 1906, but the 1914 patent date doesn't match this theory. Does the gun have a "V" serial number prefix? I think it's a WWII Victory revolver. The "V" may be on the other side of the butt, or it may be partially obscured by poor refinishing, which is common on WWII Victory revolvers that were resold on the commercial market. The matte grey-black phosphate finish on the Victory wartime guns is ugly even in pristine like-new condition, so resellers often refinished them simply to increase their appeal.Smith and Wesson K frame (model 10 or M&P - it isn't stamped) serial number 746xx...
