[Update: Short range report in Post#5]
I have K-Frames, L-Frames and N-Frames, but until recently had no J-Frame. Took delivery of a very nice Model 36 (no dash) Chief's Special today from a forum member here. After a cleaning (though it really didn't need it), a little cold blue on a few small spots, a little Flitz, and a coat of Ren Wax, she came out looking pretty good. I would call it a very high shooter grade, which is exactly how I like 'em. The right grip panel has a few dings, but the grips number to the revolver.
Based on the diamond magnas and the serial number (437XXX) I had guessed perhaps a 1965 ship date. I asked the previous owner, who said he thought '64 or '65. Can any of the many experts here confirm the date? Thanks in advance.
