Model 36 [stainless?]
From what I've read, there is no such thing as a stainless Model 36 (aka 636) Is it possible that this is such? It is not magnetic, which leads me to believe that it could be as. Any word?

Welcome to the Forum
You have a very nice plate model 36. It might be nickel which has a very slight yellowish cast or if it truly looks like stainless it is probably hard chrome which is a less yellow plating
What color is the ejector star? If it is blue then this is probably a factory nickel. If it matches the rest of the cylinder then this is an aftermarket plating job.

Is there an "N" stamped on the frame under the grips?

It means it left the factory with a nickel finish.

It should still be magnetic. All steel S&W's are, stainless or carbon steel.
Best,
