S&W revolver

Looks to be a 2 1/2" Model 66. In picture #3 (with the cylinder out), the model number should be stamped on the frame. Since it has a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder, I'd say Model 66 no dash, or 66-1. Neat gun.

You can barely make out "66-1" in the pic. Very nice.

The model 66 was first made in 1971. The change to the dash 1 came in 1977 and the dash 2 happened in 1982. So between 1977 and 1982.

Nice gun - very desirable. Your father had good taste.
