Too many numbers or not enough letters. In 1969 it topped out at 786544. After 1969 it started with a J prefix.
Are you getting the numbers from the base of the grip?

bwd,
I would estimate DOB in mid-1965. Unable to open your zip file to see condition so can't comment on value.

Doesn't look carried or even fired much, if at all. It's an outstanding carry revolver with a pocket holster. I'm guessing around $350.00. Not much $$ for a fine handgun but that's all they go for around here.

Looks like the grips might be for a later model gun. If it is in as nice shape as it appears from the pic, I think it would bring $400-425 in this area.

Thanks for all of info. It has been shot but not much at all and there isn't any holster wear so i am sure it was never carried. I own a couple of newer J frames and while they are nice revolvers and I enjoy shooting them the action of this one feels far superior.
