Gun Man,
We have a very similar Nickle Plated Taurus .38 Special as yours, however it does not have Falcon markings. On the barrel it says, "Forjas Taurus S.A. P. Alegre RGS Brasil ('Brasil' spelled with an 'S' instead of a 'Z'). On the rightside of frame it says, '38 Special The Spesco Corp. Atlanta, Ga. #621960 with the Spesco Eagle Logo above it. It has the decorative lines in the cylinder fluting, the top strap, the front sight ramp, the trigger, and the hammer. The wood mahogony grips have the Spesco Eagle Medallion. It also has a 'fine tune trigger screw' on the inside grip frame. It also has 777 markings everywhere! On the underside of the barrel, on the shooters end of the cylinder, on all internal parts, inside both grips (on the swing arm and the inside of the grips a letter 'V' is located near the 777's). We are curious to the age and any information regarding this gun. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.
