Answers:
SMITH & WESSON : TOP-BREAKS These revolvers have a latch just in front of the hammer, which locks the barrel to the frame. When the action is opened, the barrel & cylinder tip down, with an automatic extractor ejecting the shells. Mfg 1870-1940, they include single action (spur-trigger or trigger guard), double action, and safety hammerless designs. They are listed in order of frame size. Model 1 1/2 is the smallest or .32 cal. pocket sized frame; Model 2 is the medium or .38 cal. belt sized frame; Model 3 is the large holster or .44 cal. frame. Within each frame size, they are listed by action type - SA, DA, or Hammerless, as applicable.
Changes from one Top-Break model type to another are not necessarily definitive at a specific serial number. Therefore, an overlap of serial numbers from one model to another may be observed.

Should I get a Mauser 98k or a M1 Garand.?
For starters, if your pistol really has no serial number you got yourself a probable 'hot item'especially if it's a fairly old piece.
BATF allows firearms to be re-serialed by designated gunsmiths of their choosing however, there might be a fee for that service.
Wish I could be of more help, I'm in the middle of moving and all my grading, collector catalogs etc... are currently in storage.
An after thought though, it's probably a Military Police Special from the WW1 or WW2 time frame.
Have you been catching any Bass yet this spring ?
You could try and look real carefully under and inside the trigger guard, behind the trigger and remove the grips for more information. Good luck. Oh yea, I would focus on WW II erea.I am going river fishing. What is the best catfish bait?
If you'll attach a pic or give a url to one, we can tell you more, but five shot top break nickel plated.I'd venture a guess in the 1890-1900 range.That number is the serial number. But no, you can't look it up without knowing the model number. The same number could have been used on a dozen diff weapons over the years.
