The acceptance mark is GHD ( Guy H. Drewry) and there is a P proof mark. My son in law's dad gave it to him and didn't know what it was other than an old S&W revolver. Serial number is in the 600,000 / 700,000 range. Finish is worn in spots and the bore is bright and shiny. A nice family heirloom. Thanks for the help
