BTW. I picked up a Model 36 today and after spending 20 minutes on the phone waiting for Smith and Wesson customer support I used the feature on their website to send them a message. They mailed me back the manufacturing year, 1969, in two hours. Give it a shot if you are looking for a manufacturing date.

That way no one will ever have a reason to come to the Forum and ask a question, see a picture, or have a discussion. Eventually, we can just shut it down and save all the electrons.
