I only have one model 10. It's a 1981 10-8. It came with the original box and papers.

Thanks for the reply. I would suggest that even if it has been used as a shooter in the past, it will shortly be transitioning into "investment grade" - due to the underlug enclosed ejector rod - if for no other reason.
Same thing has happened to the "underlug enclosed ejector rod" equipped Mod 65 "Ladysmith" revolvers.
BTW, is that red front sight insert factory?

10-5, well worn but nice mechanically. I've stripped it down, cleaned all the action parts, replaced the screws with allen head screws, polished them and then relubed it before reassembling it.
I'll probably bob the hammer since it's already DAO and then have it refininshed. The only question is blue or parkerized.

10-5
I picked up this model 10-5 yesterday. It cleaned up pretty good, most of the small rust spots came off with fine steel wool. The barrel is clean and shiny but the cylinder is pretty scratched up. It looks like it was dropped on concete or rode around in a glovebox for a lot of years.

That brass Tyler looks perfect on your 10. Make a perfect IWB carry. I would go ahead and bob the hammer and leave her finish alone (she has earned the character) Beautiful in her own right.
If you get the chance to get it, jump on it.
There's nothing like a K frame.

BTW, Linda has great taste in revolvers.
Hello all, I'm new to the forum and would like some help in identifying a Model 10 I have passed down to me from my dad. Have no idea where to start. The butt strap has 994839 and a lanyard strap , the frame with cylinder open has 503 s. Most the S&W emblem is worn off, it has defiantly been used. I have taken it shooting twice in the 25 years I've had it, last weekend ran 50 rounds through it and it was a blast to shoot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Likely December 1946. I have one in my listing having a slightly lower SN which shipped in late November 1946.

It would be a very late pre-Victory model M&P, shipped ca. late May 1942. You didn't give the caliber, but I would guess it to be .38 S&W from the barrel length. If so, it is a .38/200 British Service Revolver made for the British Commonwealth during WWII. Yours was made 15 years before the Model 10 appeared (1957). Provide some better detail of all markings, and you'll probably get a better answer. The grips are not original, and I am not sure about the finish. Indications are that it has been re-finished. Will .38 Special cartridges chamber completely?

Thanks for the info. Yes, it is stamped 38 S&W CTG on the barrel. Here is a little more history on the piece: My dad was in the Navy in WWII on a ship that patched up ships in the south pacific. When the war ended, Marines were catching any ship they could to get back to the states. My dad bought this from a Marine who was hitching a ride on his ship, who states he got it off a dead Japanese solider. Since this is not a Japanese issue sidearm, I imagine he got it from a fallen allied solider.
