Bobby C:
Check the serial number again. It should be stamped on the bottom of the butt, the rear face of the cylinder, and on the bottom of the barrel above the ejector rod. Swing out the cylinder to see it. If the stocks (grips) are original to the gun one panel will be marked with the same serial number, or the least part of it. Ignore the number stamped on the frame under the back end of the barrel. Also what are the stocks made of, black hard rubber, checkered walnut, or something else? And does your revolver have a square or round butt?
taurustracker:
Same questions as above. There are some exceptions, and you may have one, but I would expect a serial number without letters in it. The most likely exception would be a Regulation Police model, with a square butt and checkered walnut stocks that wrap around the bottom of the butt.
