Beautiful guns! It would just be wrong for you not to add the 36.

..., but will it have a round or square butt?

You might be okay up to summer of '81 for a pinned barrel, serial number matching grips, and the small logo on the left side of the frame.

The combinations of those three things get a bit sporadic after that (sometimes earlier for non-serial numbered grips).

Your N and K frames are gorgeous. Best wishes finding a J frame mate.

Destined, preordained, even likely fits.

Doomed? Nah. That sounds like you are collecting guns while sailing on the Titanic.

Wouldn't you want a ... model 50, I think it is if you are trying to make it match?

Murphy Dog has a linguistic point.

"Doomed" typically means something which will inevitably fail or otherwise end up in a bad way.

Here, however, I believe "doomed" is understood to refer to the inability of the "doomed" person to resist the irresistible siren song of a long-wanted Smith & Wesson.

Yep. A nickel model 50 would really go well with those target sighted guns.
