Ok so I have been talking to my dad and he finally found the stamp. The guesses here were right, this is a 38 special. The only thing I dont have now is the serial. I dont want to bug my dad again about it. I have been doing as much research as I can and have found interesting pic and reviews. I guess the maker of the gun gifted " the duke" with a special set. Interesting history this gun has. I am happy to become its new owner. I wanted to once again thank everyone. You were all very helpful and kind to this gun virgin and I appreciate it. I now feel a little more at ease as to what I inherited.
