This gun was left to my father and subsequently given to me. I have no idea about the history of the gun. It seems to be in very nice shape. I took it to the range and put a few rounds through it and am currently carrying it on my side. This little 38 is deadly accurate for my shooting style. Any information on time of manufacture and value would be greatly appreciated.
The numbers :
"Mod 36" is exposed on the frame when cylinder is open
"43629" is on the upper part of the yoke
"B7" is imprinted below 43629 and is of a larger font
"ABW1011" is on the bottom of the grip and I am assuming this is the serial number.
Based off some google searches, I am assuming this is from the late 70's / Early 80's.
For some reason, I am hoping it is a 79' model as that is my birth year.
