Serial number is BAE6XXX

What is the year of this pistol?

Thanks

I'm an old school shooter and have acquired an old Model 36 #260xxx. Please provide me the date of manufacture.

Thank you.

From the S&W Forum archives for the second post, not sure for the first:

From a close known SN, and the SN ranges in the table notwithstanding, I think this one would be from early 1962, less likely late 1961. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you both. I was guessing early sixties.
