Help dating Mod 36 no dash
Hi all. I just picked up a Mod 36, no dash, pinned barrel, ser #7J91XX. I would like to find out the year it was made. Its been refinished by Smith so no real collector value or anything.
Thanks
Kevin

It is one of the "floating J" SN guns, probably from 1971. In that year and 1972 these had a six-character SN with 1-3 digits in front, the letter J, then 2-4 digits following. Confusing, isn't it?

If it was refinished before (about) 1980, it would have a 3- or 4-digit month/year or R-B (refinish, blue) stamping on the left grip frame, under the stock panel. If it was more recent work, there would be no stamping.
