Here for your perusal is US Ordnance proofed Smith&Wesson revolver Serial #943947 5-inch barrel chambered in 38 S&W (.380/200) later sold to Canada. This revolver has matching numbers on the frame, cylinder, yoke, extractor, and barrel. The revolver has a US Ordnance Flaming Bomb on the butt with C (Broad Arrow) Canadian property stamp just behind, as well as on the left side of the frame at the knuckle just behind the hammer. The smooth walnut grips are numbered on the interior: 94347. The C arrow under Made in USA is the Canadian ownership mark, C Broad Arrow. On the butt strap are found the serial number, the initials WB for the US Army ordnance officer Col. Waldemar Broberg, the US flaming bomb ordnance mark and the P proof stamps.

Thanks for sharing! The revolver looks great. It seems like whoever numbered the grips left out a digit of the serial number (or was it a typo in your post?)
