Let’s play the “What is it?” game!

My guess:
S&W model of 1905 4th change in early victory model but the term "victory" may not have been used at this time. The 6 inch barrel version was not made for any US forces but may have been special ordered by the BRITS or another allied nation.
That big white-filled logo mark is some importers logo; it was re-mported at some point back to the USA for the civilian market.

No sir.

The big white-filled logo is the manufacturer’s logo.

I say:

No, the grips on an original M1917 are different, at the top where they meet the sideplate and overlap it a little bit.
These grips /stocks look like a more modern design.

One of the changes from the N-frame S&W revolver to this one was a slimmer grip frame. Additionally, the caliber is different, and the hammer contour was changed.
 
At what point do we call it a "no winner" and let somebody put up a different gun or accessory to guess-identify?

I fondled an oddball handgun at a gun shop today that I'd like to post here.
