Sorry realized i posted this in the wrong forums originally.
just happened to stumble (almost literally) across my first S&W today while cleaning out the garage, found my wife's father old service revolver from Korea.
We had found the cleaning kit, holster and other US army issued stuff including the original wood grips but where never able to locate the pistol it self.
As you can see he had a lot of work done on it, serial is s93xxx and all match.
