Hello community!

When my grandfather passed away I was left one of his old S&W revolvers and I'm trying to find out how old it is and also what kind of finish it has. I've been to a couple different places that sell guns but I haven't seen a finish like the one this one has. I've attached a picture but it isn't very clear. The finish is a non reflective gray.

When I open the cylinder there is a 10-6 number and on the butt of the gun the Serial # C659xxx

Also I've seen some really nice aftermarket grips (hogue/pachmayr) that I might want to add. What size frame do I have? I think K but I'm not 100%

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
