I HAVE A MODEL 36 THAT I'VE INHERITED AFTER MY FATHER PASSED.IT'S IN ROUGH CONDITION BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT RESTORED.CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GUNSMITH THEY HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH.THANKS

Please try using the lower case on your keyboard. ALL CAPS makes it seem like you're yelling in the computer-world.

I would give S&W a call and ask if they will refinish it. The few times I've used S&W's services they did a very nice job. I have not had them refinish a blued gun, though.

S&W will do a nice job on it.
