Your Smith was produced in 1979, and is either a Model 10 or 12 (if blued), or a Model 64 (if stainless). The model number should be stamped on the frame inside the yoke - swing the cylinder out to see. You should see either 10-8, 12-3, or 64-3, indicating the basic model number and the "dash" variation, which corresponds to various engineering/design changes made to the original configuration.
