The OP can contact his local law enforcement agency and have them run the serial number, which would not be a bad idea..

Just so everyone knows, I probably should have added a smiley face after my post. I was advise caution to the OP concerning the claims about this revolver. It may or may not be Air Force, and if so, it may or may not have been lawfully released as surplus. Also, the Air Force is known for their Combat Masterpiece revolvers, not for Model 10s, making it something that you would want to check out thoroughly before paying a premium. If the price is just as a shooter, then as long as it is not stolen, then who cares.
