Hello everyone, my father in law left me a SW 38 revolver. Serial #8k69878. It has black rubber grip and L.A.S.D 3276 stamped just above the trigger. when the cylinder is pulled out additional markings include 41101, just below that is F2U. 15-3 is also stamped. As you can see I am a novice with guns. Any info you might have is very much appreciated.
Welcome! The stamp on the left frame indicates it was an L. A. Sheriff’s Department issue sidearm. The 8K serial number indicates it was made in 1975; the other stampings are factory internal codes. Hope this is helpful.
