Milady purchased two pistols from her parents before they passed, and have passed them on to our kids. Both wanted to know when they are made, so I told them I'd ask the experts. Can someone help us narrow down the ranges?

The first is a Military and Police or a Model 10, depending on age. It's serial number is C391xx, and has the number "85972" stamped under the cylinder arm.

I think the second is a K38 Target Special or a Model 14 (depending on age), serial K2315xx. It has 72539 stamped behind the cylinder arm.

Thanks in advance for your help.
