Picked up a S&W model 10-5, vintage 1978 with s/n 2D83xxx. Nothing special about this common example of a model 10 except for the crude engravings, "BMP" on the frame and a property/rack number on the back strap. The gun shows normal holster wear on the muzzle and cylinder, but is very sound mechanically and shoots well.
Does anyone have an idea what the"BMP" stands for? I'm assuming it's some police dept.or government agency.
Almost forgot, the grips appear to be replacements as diamond grips had been discontinued 10 years before the gun was made.
