I suggest caution...
My 1956 pre model 36 Chief's Special, original everything, cyl ser# matches butt ser# etc, is LEFT hand threads. There is no groove near the knurling.
My 1976 Model 66 matches scooter's description.
My 1957 K-22 does as well. LEFT hand threads with groove.
All three revolvers have LEFT hand threads. ONE of them does not have a groove. TWO of them are pre-1961 when it's commonly written to expect them to be RIGHT hand threads.
There appear to have been variants.
