Unfortunately I can't get any other search's as records have not been digitized up th that date yet. My opinion is that it was in inventory as a regular 36-1 and they received a request for a 3" Target so it was pulled from stock and converted. It just can't be verified.
I gave up trying to document and gave it to David Carroll for some future auction. |
I believe your 36-1 is a fake! The original targets did not have a pinned in front sight and the installation of a Mod 34 rear sight is easy! Do you remember the serial number for my data base?
To the OP;
In 1975 S&W produced 213 36-1 target guns in serial number range #2J3134-#2J3347. 202 were sold at that time. The -1 indicates a 3" Heavy Barrel gun.
