Yes it's parkerized a kind of gray/green color. It may actually be two-toned because the cylinder is a shade or two darker than the frame when it's oiled. Long term it will probably end up being reblued if I can find someone to dovetail the barrel for a tritum sight.
A couple of my nicer 10's are pictured previously in this thread, this one will be a project gun...
fisco I believe someone posted a picture of a 3" tapered barreled M10, I'll see if I can find the link.

Here is my Model 10-5 2"
Two 10s and a 12 and 13.
Yesterdays find
Found this 66-67 vintage 10-5 yesterday serial # C8769xx with numbered grips.
I have no reason to believe that it was ever owner shot. I had no choice but to bring it home. What would you have done?

If you decide to sell that barrel,let me know.
My 1970 Model 10-5. Passed on to me by my first FTO (Field Training Officer). Issued to him by the department in 1971.
Carried it until his retirement in 1996 and was passed on to me after his passing in 2011.
On Feb 24,2011 I reported for my last duty day with the department. And went on Traffic Safety Patrol as my last shift with it in my holster. As one of "The Bosses", (I retired as a Captain) we could carry any approved wheelgun or semi auto.
It felt good and comfortable on my hip. Same as any good Smith does. I stopped at the State Patrol barracks to say my goodbyes to the Troopers I knew there and they were astonished that I was carrying that old Model 10 on my last day.
I had no doubts that if I needed it, it would do the job.
