Are you trying to conceal the fact that it has been refinished?

I'm not sure you can find a font that will match the S&W dies. They compressed some lines and their ampersand is rather unique.

I think your best bet would be to photograph or scan the four line address and import the image into your laser driver.

You also might check with Ford's refinishing. They may have a die to stamp the address.
