S&W Model 10 serial number ?

[puccini]

I just got a Smith and Wesson model10

It has adjustable sights.

The serial number is 164xxx.

There is a "K" some distance to the left of the serial number.

Not a part of the number.

Any way to find out the manufacture date?

Smith and Wesson Model 10's do not have adjustable sights. Please post a picture.

I have a few questions:
What caliber is it in?
Is it a round but or square butt?
Do the sights look stock, or were they added by a good gunsmith?

.38 special
4" barrel
Square butt
Factory adjustable sights
front and rear of grip frame has serrations like a target model
All factory done.

Post up some pics, especially of the area where the model is listed. As far as I know, Model 10's only come with fixed sights.

Well,
I found out that it's a model 15 combat masterpiece.
Year of manufacture is still not available but it's in the 60's I think.
