Open the cylinder and see what model it is.

Its a 5 screw SW model M&P, looks to be nickel plated model of 1905 series with 5" barrel. Serial number and I would be able to date it per the SCSW catalog. Open the cylinder and see if the extractor star is blued, if so its probably the original finish since the hammer and trigger are not plated.

I must apologize, for the life of me I can't find my SCSW to look up the serial number. I do however see the serial number on the cylinder which leads me to beleive that there is a serial number on the bottom of the barrel under the extractor rod, the star is blued so its the original finish, and yes those are original mother of pearl(Not factory, but real). I would take those off the gun and put up in a safe place so as not to damamge them. Based on every thing I see, even though I can't check the numbers right now, it is a pre-war 5" M&P.
Very classy gun, and yes you can shoot it, just no +P ammo. Standard velocity .38spl will do just fine out of that 5" barrel.
