The copyright in Spanish was aimed at Spanish companies making copies of S&W guns. They couldn't claim in court they couldn't read the warning.

Providing the serial will help forum members provide info. The copyright imprnt appears in 1948 and the model numbers appear in 1958. I assume yours was made during that period. The serial will likely start with the letter C prefix. The C was used 1948 to 1967. Started with C1 and ended with C999999 and then they went with D1.

The frame on your revolver is K size. N is bigger and J is smaller. Prior to being designated the Model 10 your gun was a called the "Military & Police Model." Two basic frame types were square butt and round butt. Common barrel lengths were 2,4,5,6 inches.

Below are photos of a 2" Model 10-5 made in 1969 showing the square butt "Magna" style stocks. These are the 1949 to 1967 style. Note the diamond around the screw. Bottom is a 1949 Military & Police Model with a 2" barrel and a round butt. Again note the diamond style Magna stocks. Whichever butt your gun has these would be the correct stocks. If you don't care if the stocks are the correct type any K frame stocks of the correct butt shape will fit.
