Can you guys please give me an education as to the history of this gun based on its markings?

.357 Heavy Barrel Blued with square butt frame.

There is a E19 stamped above Model 13-1 when you open the cylinder.

There are several markings on the frame:

64567 stamped
E3
C7
E19
Serial number starts D795xxx

On the opposite side is stamped a capital I in a circle and a capital N in a square.

Thanks in advance for any help!
