Default Letter for an 1880s era gun?

I’ve posted about this gun in question before, and apparently it’s a .38 Single Action, 2nd Model, Serial #56303. According to a couple responses its stocks were only used in 1881-82, per the block style S&W letters. There is a real nice engraved revolver similar to mine, in the Antique, tip ups, etc. section, and the OP was advised to get it lettered. So, can I take it for granted that this gun of mine could be lettered? It has no sentimental value whatsoever but it’s interesting as all get out for a $300 gun that works, sorta. (Another issue came up.)
Thanks for your input once again.
Jeff T.
