Default USAF model 15

I am putting together a display case for the family of one of my special ops team members killed in action. I live on a small disability check and can't afford much, but I need to find a S&W model 15, 38 combat masterpiece with the USAF stamp. Condition is not an issue since it is only for display, I can have it re-blued if needed. If there is anyone who knows where I can find one I would be most grateful, and it would mean alot to his family. Thank you, O.S.I. Special Agent G.L.Smith (ret.) I can be contacted at [email protected]

Default USAF markings

It's been over 40 years. I don't remember that the ones we were issued with survival gear in SEA actually had USAF on them. Seems to me that it was: U.S. Government - maybe: Property of US Govt. something along those lines.

Here is a link to a recent (closed) auction, the stamping appears authentic but there was some discussion about the Parkerized finish:

USAF S&W Model 15-2 Smith & Wesson : Revolvers at GunBroker.com

And the thread here:

USAF Model 15

Best wishes for the search.
