The star indicates it went back to the factory for work at some point, new barrel, re-finish, action job, something requiring a return.
The serial number IDs your gun as a .38 Miltary & Police Model of 1905 4th Change manufactured between 1920 (serial number 358000) & 1927 (serial number 500000).
If stamped Made In USA then 1922 or later, if not, 1922 or earlier.
Basically your gun is a predecessor to the modern Model 10 revolver, but most parts will not interchange as there has been a dozen design changes in the last 90 years. It has a heat treated cylinder, so should be safe with any modern standard velocity or PlusP ammunition. Avoid anything marked +P+ or any old pre-1960s ammunition marked High Speed as these exceed industry pressure standards.
It has a non positive internal hammer block that failed at least once when a gun was dropped, with fatal consequences, leading to the design of the current positive hammer block in 1944. I would suggest caution and treat it as a 5 shooter, leaving the chamber under the hammer empty.
The frame is the medium 'K frame' and probably a square butt. Modern aftermarket grips should fit.
