2.5 inch 38 special

Stamped mod-36

Serial number 1921xx

Diamond on wood grips around grip screw



Everything I have seen leads me to believe this is pre 66 but post 59. Not totally sure. Serial number charts only give me a ballpark guess and the stamping on crane have me confused. Not sure if its a date ( doesnt match date chart if it is ) or a factory code. My research leads me to believe 1960-1964 range. Would like a closer estimate if possible. Stamped 6 10 86 a large Q and a small w on crane. Has ramped front sight, firing pin on hammer. 2 screw model. Not sure what other info would be relevant.



Thanks in advance. Have a great weekend.
