As noted, your .357 Combat Magnum was produced in 1977. That probably means it is a Model 19-3, but it could be a Model 19-4, since the -4 was released in 1977. If you open the cylinder and look on the frame in the yoke cut, you will see MOD 19-x. That will tell you the exact variant.

Congratulations on inheriting a fine revolver.
