Hi Guys
Have a "K" frame-15-3 serial #3K77827 and
"J" frame 36-3 serial #459280
Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture of each of theses?
Thanks

K frame: 1972
J frame: not making any sense. non prefix J frames s/n ran from 1 - 786544 (1950-1969). Yours should be between '62 - '69 yet the Model 36-3 was made first in 1988.

Do you have a photo showing the s/n?

I'll try to read the s/# again or try to get a photo of it
Thanks

Model 36-1 in yoke
S/N is on butt
I think this should help
Thanks

I just bought a model 36 the serial number on it is j384863 I was wondering what year it was made.

In the range 1976-77.

Yes it does. That makes sense. The s/n range is 1962 to 1969. The Model 36-1 was introduced in 1967 so yours is probably a 67 - 69 model.
