Help me identify this revolver.
Known facts:
It was retrieved off the body of a Japanese junior officer in the CBI theater in late WWII, in the Burma area.
Japanese army officers were responsible for providing their own sidearms.
It's an obvious knockoff of an I-frame Smith in .38 S&W.
The writing on the gun is not in Japanese.
