Identify old revolver

[The_Shadow]

I just bought an S&W revolver and want to find a model and manufacture year. It has a five-inch barrel which is pinned and has a fixed sight. It has four screws. There is no model number. Barrel is marked, 38 S&W Special ctg. Serial number on the butt is 557xxx. What size frame is this and where can I purchase replacement grips?

I may be pushing things here; I have another about which I would like the same information. It's a model 10-6, serial number D994xxx.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Go here and ask: S&W Revolvers: 1961 to 1980

LOL...I got to say, I have never, ever seen someone post a "help ID" thread and not include photos...
Wants to make it more challenging I guess....

Without any pictures I'd say it's a 5" pinned .38 spl S&W with fixed sights and 4 screws.
