I have a 3" 10-6 with a nice, but worn parkerized finish. Were these guns ever produced this way or is it more likely that someone had it done down the line?
10-6 Parkerized?

Took a quick look at the model 10 section of SCSW, didn't see a parked 3" M10-6 listed but never say never with S&W!
Is yours a RB or SB? How about a photo?

It's not likely to have been Parkerized (phosphate finish) originally. Examples of post-WWII revolvers with phosphate finishes do appear every so often, and are generally assumed to have been done outside the factory. Parkerizing is a fairly simple and straightforward process, and is within the capability of almost anyone to perform. Parkerizing kits for guns are available for home use.

Here's the 10-6. The finish is in nice condition with very little wear. I've had it for about 15 years and shot it many times.

Sweet!,i love it.
I've never seen a factory parkerized S&W revolver. I have had a couple of mine parkerized by a local 'smith, a 586 L-Comp and a 3" 29-10, because I like the look and durability of the finish. That M10 looks great!

I have seen matte-finished S&W's. Besides the 442 series, I've seen a vintage DAO 36-2 with a matte finish. Very attractive IMHO.
