This is puzzling. The SN is from a 1950 fixed-sight K frame, so it should be a 5-screw, but this one is clearly a 3-screw and correct for a model 15-3, including the MOD stamp on the frame under the barrel.
It as if someone changed the serial number by welding the lower grip frame of the older gun to a model 15 to change the SN. "Why" would be the operative question.
