Welcome! Is this the full stamping off the bottom of the grip frame (letter(s) and digits)?

Sorry, Pulled the grips off J Frame, J7565%%, Also I think these are origional grips, Are They, They are marked on back S&W J frame, Here's a couple of pics

This number indicates it shipped (was sold) in late 1980 or early 1981. The grips on it are Pachamyr Compacs; it probably came from the factory with walnut Magna stocks, the same contour as the grip frame and each panel about 1/2" wide. It is probably a $350-375 gun. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the help, Whats the most desireable barrel length if any for the airweight, I have a 66 3" which I know is desireable but not sure on the model 37 ?

It looks to be in "very good" condition, so I think $350-375 is a bit light. I have a "very good" 3" model 36 (same tapered barrel as this airweight) and I just made a deal tonight to sell it for $400. The 37 is less common than the 36, and a 3" barrel airweight seems to be even less common yet. So I would put the value more like $400-450, at least in my area- or I would if it had the stock s/n'd magna grips instead of Pachmayrs..
Personally I prefer the 2" (that's why I' selling my 3" 36), so the barrel length would not be worth a premium to me (quite the opposite).
