Thanks everyone for the information that you have provided. It is great to validate what we had been thinking all along. Here are just a few more questions I have.
-How should I be storing this gun? Could I put it out on display or should it be tucked away somewhere?
-It hasn't been shot in along time. Does it need to be cleaned anyway? And if so is there anything I should be aware of not to use on a firearm this old?
-Lastly I would like to get a letter of authenticity, but the S&W webbsite says they are on hold right now? Any idea as to when this will re-open?
Thanks again and here are a few more pictures of the grips.
