You have a satin finished, fixed sight gun with the" porkchop" shroud. So called because of the flange on the shroud. They were the successor to the model 11. They differed in that the barrel nut was inside the shroud which made the barrel 1/4" shorter. There were other small differences. The porkchops are easier to clean. As the cylinder assembly comes off when the shroud is removed. I happen to like it. I find the porkchops possibly more accurate then the later 15 and 14-2's. The hammer throw is shorter in double action. If you put in Wolff reduced power springs you will have one of the sweetest double action guns made. The cylinder latch is not as easy to work as the later models though. With any small frame Dan keep your third and forth fingers pushing through the frame when you eject cases or the cylinder will close up and the rachet will scratch the sideplate and recoil shield. BTW, if you don't have a barrel tool you will need to get one. EWK ARMS or ebay are two places get one or the DW factory. Read the "Average Joe Tuneup" in the Gunsmithing. Thread. Whew! Others will tell you more. Oh, your gun was made from sometime in 1972 to 1974. The serial number is under the crane.
