A 36-1 has a 3" heavy barrel which is a little more desireable to some people. Hers was made about 1980.

If she wants to sell it, post it here on this forum in the classifieds for free. Then she can get the amount the local dealer would sell it for. The problem with the firing pin is a simple one and if she doesn't sell it here, she will be low-balled if she doesn't get it repaired first.
