I inherited a S&W Mdl 15-2. It of course has a pinned barrel but not a recessed cylinder. The pistol looks to have been Hard chromed or a similar finish. and has a "2059" number electro penciled on the bottom of the grip frame. I figure this is probably surplus law enforcement pistol.
The best I can gleam from google searches is that only Magnum caliber revolvers had the recessed cylinder feature and not the 38 special models.
Could some more knowledgeable on Smith revolvers confirm this please.
