Hi
Is it normal that there is no S&W logo?

Around the time of WW I, S&W did not mark their revolvers with the company logo.

Very nice looking 6" RP! We don't see many with the long tube. S&W introduced the Regulation Police hand ejectors in 1917 with the gold medallion extended stocks. As Gil said, they stopped stamping the trademark for WWI and didn't resume until 1920 when they also removed the medallion from the stocks. Based on those features, we can say with some assurance that your gun was made between 1917 and 1920.

You got yourself a nice one. As Guy said, these are not seen very often. I was lucky to find one a bit over a year ago. Ser # 349152, shipped May 1922.

Very nice, I am still looking for one.

If I happen upon one in the wild, what are they going for these days? I'm also looking for one kinda. I have a couple 4 1/4" models and lost a 3 1/4" auction recently. The 4 1/4" is the most common and the 6" the least common from what I have seen thus far in my search.
