Any of you Ladies or Gents ever own, or come across a 3" tapered barrel K frame?

I have a 3" mod 10 no dash ser #c467102 which if I'm correct shipped in 1960. 4 screw. Square Butt. I wouldn't call the barrel tapered, but it's obviously not as heavy as the mod 65 shown with it for comparison. This gun was supposedly special ordered by a sheriff in upstate SC who spent a lot of time in the woods looking for liquor stills. Have no clue if any of that info is close to correct. Could have been owned by a pig farmer and carried in bib overalls. Does have a lot of honest character and wear on grips and barrel does look like it was carried a lot. Tight as a tick and shoots great. Never thought to letter it since the Std Catalog did say 3" was available by special order

I think a guy could fill up a whole book just about the Model 10 series, M&P and Victory.... Easily. Eh?
 
That is beautiful!!!!!!

It looks like the "intermediate" barrel type.
