Radagast, Your correct. The gun had another number on the bottom of the grip frame. It is 7228XX and it is a steel framed Smith & Wesson. Nowhere on the gun could I find a model number. A photo of the original grips are below. Thanks again for looking it up for me.

Flashhole, Its a Harrel's Turret Press.
