New member with used model 10-5

I am a new member and would appreciate some help on identifying mfg year of a used Model 10-5, serial # D82xxx which I purchased recently.

1968-69, Are there any other markings? What about a pic or two?

Welcome.......

Thanks KOBSW for the reply.

Papacap,
Are the stocks matched to the gun? I mean do they have the same S/N as the gun? The reason I ask is that I wanted to know if they were diamond or not.

Diamond was deleted in 1968.

Welcome to the forum. We always like to see
pictures. Hope you have some diamond grips on
that gun. They add beauty and value. Don

Congratulations on the 10-5 purchase. I have my dad's model 105 that he bought new in 1968 that has had less then 50 rounds through it. They are classic great guns - Enjoy

Welcome to the forum popakap! Nice find with the M 10-5. The 1905s and thier children the tens are perhaps the most elegant revolvers S&W has made. Simplicity and grace, they are hard to beat for a classic!

Hello all. Glad I found this board. New kid on block. I am looking for a S&W 38 revolver and could someone please tell me the difference between a 10-5 and a 10-7? Is there a fact site on different S&W's revolvers made in the 60's- 70's-80's? Thanking in advance frankoo
