Seems like I have heard that name back in the 60s but don't remember anything about it. I wish you could post pics too.

If my creaky old memory can be trusted Specso was more of a marketing firm than a gun manufacturer. I can recall seeing Spesco stamped on firearms that were built in W. Germany, Italy, Brazil, etc.. Again, my memory is a little fuzzy but it seems like Spesco used to market Taurus and/or Rossi built guns in the U.S. before those companies made their own names here.

yeah i found a little more information,digging around net,seems spesco was the first importer.it is identical to a model 10 we compared it to,but it is built as good as my dads 66 taurus from the 90"s,blueing is nicer.i have tried pics before,see if my daughter will help me,shes home from college a few more days.

I have one of those I bought from a local feller for $200. Seems like a nice gun and well made, but the sights kinda suck, I can't hit diddly with it. Perhaps I just need to sit down with it and get used to it. I think it's a 4" barrel, wish I could put a 6" on it.

Sorry, no photos of it either, but exactly like you described yours.
