Forgot to say its stamped SCDHPT under the cylinder.

That is for South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation. This was a predecessor to SCDOT as best I can tell. I am not sure if SCDHPT ran the Highway Patrol or what. Any help in this would be appreciated.

I'f im not mistaken...SCDHPT was like a combo of Dept. of Transportation and Dept. of Public Safety

They were around from the mid 70s to the early 90s i think

Congrats, love S&W wheel guns, carried one for years. Love my 686. Plus I just picked up a couple of new ones, RIA compact 1911 and a XD-M 3.8 compact in 9mm... :mrgreen:
