Hello all -

Joined the forum tonight after trying for a while to identify the manufacture date of a S&W Model 10. Hopfefully someone is still monitoring this thread.

Here's what I have. Barrel is tapered and marked 38 S&W Special CTG. The yoke has two engravings - MOD-10 & 61902. There are a couple other stamps on the yoke (a larger 0 & 6 and a smaller 2). The serial number on the bottom of the grip is C483xxx. There are 3 screws. Two on the side plate and one at the front of the trigger guard.

I've been a LEO for 33 years and got this one from a co-worker who got it from his uncle. No history available.

I've been reading a while now trying to figure it out. Since it just states MOD-10 my guess is 1957 - 1958?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Bill
