Not that I am an expert, but I think the K-frame .38s issued to AF pilots had adjustable sights, in which case they would be Model 15s in 1974. The Model 10 was the traditional fixed sight gun.

If you get photos and a serial number, please report back with what you have learned. It will be interesting to know barrel length.

Fakes are known, so be careful.
