Nothing. Serial numbers mean nothing. S&W revolvers of the era of your Model 36 have a serial number sequence consisting of 3 letters, followed by 4 numbers.
Going in order, the 3 alpha, 4 numeric serials numbers would have started with AAA0000 to AAA9999 and followed with AAB0000 to AAB9999. Certain ranges of numbers have been not used or have been reserved, for reasons best explained by the factory.
Thus, ANR0000 to ANR9999 comes before ANS0000 to ANS9999, and after ANQ0000 to ANQ9999.
