Couldn't pass up this M10, but what agency does the marking indicate?
"MPDC" (Washington DC is the obvious guess)

(I think it's had action work, it's smooth as silk and breaks like glass.)

Serial #D96516 is what year?

Might end up using it in my training classes.

thnx

I would call smith & wesson up and see if they can give you some history on the gun. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't.
