PROBABLY OVERPAID TODAY $400.00 FOR A NEAR MINT S&W MODEL 36 WITH ROUND BUTT...SERIAL NUMBER #60J8XX. TRYING TO FIND APPROX PRODUCTION DATE. OWNER SAID IT HAD BEEN FIRED LESS THAN 20 TIMES BY GRANDPARENTS WHO KEPT IT NEAR THE BED. IT IS A BEAUTY. OWNED ONE MUCH LIKE IT BACK 1973. ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

welcome to the forum!

it was shipped in 1971 or 1972. 400 was a good price for a mint one.

now, we need a pic, or two!

While I might not call it a steal, I would agree that $400 is a pretty good price for a Model 36 in 99% condition. That's what I paid for one of the same era and it was about 90%.

Thanks for the info guys. Going thru some old paperwork at home last night and found the sale receipt/ registration for my first model 36 which i purchase back on 8/31/73 paid $75.00 new. This latest purchase appears to be even older, quite a surprise. I'll get some photos up, once I figure out how to do it.

ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR THE INFO.... HERE ARE SOME PICS OF MY LATEST PURCHASE....
