So I stopped by my local gun stealer just to see what he had. I spotted this model 10 in is case. After a little haggling I bought the gun. $550 for the gun, a box of 38 ammo and a IWB holster. From what I can tell the gun was made in 1977 and the nickel Finish appears to be factory.

Great Score!
The classic .38 K frames are just about perfect. Everything you need and nothing you don't in a mid size revolver. I also really like the standard/"pencil" profile barrel on that one.
If you remove the grips, you should see “N” stamped on the grip frame which will confirm a factory nickel finish.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Congrats on a very nice find!

Thank You all, I will check for the N tonight.
You stole that.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Even if it's not factory nickel, it looks like it was decently well done. It does look less shiny than I'm used to on factory guns.Originally Posted by LtDave
N stamped

Awesome, glad my fears were unfounded.Next step - targets! Then we can get into the holster discussion...
Very nice score.
