I have a s/w blue steel model 581 357 mag 4in revolver. On the the left side below the cylnder is stamped O.C.S. Does anyone have any idea what this means?

  Welcome to the forums...... It might mean "Orange County Sheriff".
  I have a Smith model 15 I bought a few years with O.C.Ca. stamped on the left side of the frame. It was previously probably a bailiff's revolver that was issued by the county.
  
  Its likely the "C" and the "S" are for county sheriff, as for the "O", there are lots of possibilities.

  There is a S&W Instruction sheet listed on Gunbroker.com auction.
