Date of manufacture
Does anyone know the approximate year these were manufactured?
Model 36 J3500XX
Model 60 ANP7XXX
I recently picked them up, the 36 was from a retired officer's widow that wanted it out of the house ($250) and the 60 was in a local gun shop ($400). I will post pictures soon.

1976 & 1986...very nice set of a classic, the Chief Special.
Welcome to the forum! You'll find lots of info & oddities here (members included!) (just kidding guys)
BTW - Since many ask I'll go ahead and mention it...plus P (+p) rounds are fine for both...just don't make it a steady diet of them...just enough to stay familiar w/ the extra bite of the recoil & also for carry...IMO a 158 gr. +p semi-wad cutter hollow points are great for .38 carry ammo, Speer 135 gr. +p Gold Dot hollow points are nice too, but everyone has thier favorites.

Call S & W and give them the serial #'s and they will tell you when the guns were manufactured.

Not the exact date. But 1K39501 through 1K99999 serial numbers were issued in 1971. So there you go!

Maybe, but they're not always right.
