Regardless, it's a pretty special revolver.

FYI
Thanks for the info SmithNut. Do you remember if there was a number stamped on the left side of this Revolver? As I remember it, all of the issued Model 10's (plus the other Smiths used by NSWPol) had an Armoury number on the Frame underneath the cylinder window. Maybe this number was something put on when they arrived at the Police Armoury in Sydney.
