			When you open the cylinder, the model number and serial number are stamped in the valley area. Sorry, I do not know the correct wording for the parts areas yet.   That's where they are on mine. |

			Okay, it's a K-Frame 357magnum. the -6 indicates it probably has the dreaded Lock on it right by the cylinder-release( Which I can tell you later how to remove,Shhhhhh.) I have a Model 66-62-1/2" bbl. the SS brother to yours, it had..er...has the lock on it.
