I have a pinned barrel, blued, round butt S&W model 36-1 revolver for which I hope someone can provide an estimated date of manufacture.
The serial number on the bottom of the butt is J4653XX.
Thanks!
Wait! ... What? ... A second safe? Why wasn't I informed of this before getting that Model 10?
Thanks for the heads up about that "accursed" book. Too bad your advice about the book came too late -- was forced to install a *second* bookcase already!
I'm living in Northeast Arkansas and bought a Model 10-5 last year on the general principle that I ought to have at least one reliable, accurate handgun at the house. Being a bookish sort, I began to research Smith and Wessons which led me to this forum. Much appreciate the information here...
