Mod 60 No Dash I bought in tandem with a Mod 66 No Dash as well. Both were unfired but with no boxs or paperwork I got a very fair deal for both. It came with the orig grips but the Diamond Pro set I put on it turned it into a very comfortable, and accurate shooter.

My recently acquired 2.5" Colt Diamondback in 38 spl. They don't make em like this anymore. I swapped the original service grips for Gen 2 targets. Feels much better in the hand.

Does anyone know what this says or language it is?

I bought a similar, but a thumb break style holster from Turkey, too! No body else made what I wanted, or at least I couldn't find one.

Looks Indian or Indonesian or something. IDK? Is there any other import marks? Like did century arms or PW arms re-import it?
It would seem really odd for a gun that has always been in the United States to have foreign language engraving on it.
No import marks, I think the 68 gca made import marks mandatory. So there is a small window where it
could of been exported and then imported back. probably not likely.

This is really cool and drove me nutz trying to find what nationality uses this alphabet. I tried Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Swedish, Philippines, Thai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Chinese ... Geeze, anything I could think of and no go. No alphabet I could find has those "Ms" and the backwards "C". Would be very cool to know where that's been. I find markings like this a curiosity and worthy of collecting just for fun.

My Model 10 has a cool tag. It's "Department of Corrections". I think it would be very interesting to find out where this gun served. It's not a snubby, but I'll show it off anyway.:D

I do know that. The "DC" tag is New York State department of corrections. They surplus out all of their model 10 S&Ws some years ago. I have seen quite a few of them floating around on GunBroker and on the Smith and Wesson gun boards.
Google, New York State department of corrections Smith and Wesson, you will get a lot of hits and that silver tag is the same.
