  By its naming convention, the Smith and Wesson model 6903 would be an aluminum alloy frame steel slide double-action double-stack semiauto 9mm luger pistol.
  
  Sounds like that is NOT what you have!
  
  There may have been an experimental model 69 revolver in .357 magnum as a limited run.
  
  As other food for though, mis-stamps have been known to occur, and poor stamps may be misread as as different number.
  
  Could you post a clear picture of the engravings inside the frame?
  
  See "sticky" for directions on how to do it.
  
  EDIT: Just wait a sec here. . .the header says "9603" but the question body says "6903". Which is it?

  Sounds like you have a .38 spl revolver made between 1945-48. The 6903 is an assembly number and the S 594xxx is the serial number.
  
  Exactly how many numbers are in the serial number? What does it say on the barrel & outside of the frame?
