According the the SCSW your gun was more than likely a 1945 gun going by the serial number time frames.

S 811120- S 999999    1945-1948

Smith doesn't always get the year right when you call. Especially on guns as old as yours.

I'd guess 1945-1948? Does it have many of the prewar features(hammer, long action, etc.)?
