12 round mags indicate it is a Model 469, not a model 459. It is not uncommon for S&W markings to be poorly stamped. We recently had a thread featuring a S&W Model 545, something never cataloged by S&W. A close up picture revealed it was a run of the mill Model 645, but the "6" was so poorly stamped that it resembled a "5".
