Hello Mark, Your gun dates to 1982 according to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. Considering that you are Mark1982 it just seems right. Bruce

have fun with the model 10. i picked up my first 10, (first revolver for that matter)in January. 10-7 2"bbl blued, around 1987. Very accurate, a joy to shoot. everyone needs a model 10 in their collection!
