Does the "sheriff" marking look like it was factory, or could it have been put on by some Sheriff's department. Ex-police Model 19's are very common as they were traded in when police went to auto pistols. Usually the marking will be an abbreviation, like SDPD for San Diego Police Department, and a gun number, but maybe some department figured "Sheriff 65" was enough of a mark to establish ownership if the gun strayed.
