It's a pre-'82 gun, based on the pinned barrel. What's the serial number?

I bought it. My first engraved Smith!
I think its 1981 - SN J9070XX.
Here are some pictures; better ones I think.
I'll need to get it lettered to know its "factory" engraved, but judging by the figure in the wood, it seems logical (we'll see). It's un-fired but the cylinder has been turned, you can see the cylinder ring.
I want to thank RKmesa for his help on this. What a helpful guy - those Arizona boys are the salt of the earth, ain't they?
