A friend of mine has a chromed Smith and Wesson revolver which I believe is a model 60, 38 special.

The serial number on the bottom of the handle frame is: WBLP15xx.

I understand that S&W doesn't make 8 digit serial #'s.

The S&W logo is clearly stamped on the side, so I know it's authentic.

Any ideas?

Did somebody add their initials to the Serial #?

Could the true serial # be P15xx?

Thanks!
