I've seen mention of the Model 50 in this thread, but I haven't
seen one, yet.
Here's mine.
S&W shipped it to B. E. Hodgdon Inc., in Shawnee Mission, Kansas,
on my first anniversary in the Air Force, March 27, 1973.

Here is a three-screw, non-model marked Chiefs Special. Some would call it a true 'pre-model 36' (because it is the same configuration as the first model marked Model 36, but doesn't yet have the model number marking). For me, this was a hard one to find in excellent condition with box, etc. It likely shipped in the middle of 1958. Thanks to Forum member Magyar it is now in my care.

Here’s one that we don’t run across too often- Product Code 102326 from September 1998, a 60-2 DAO marked Airweight.

I just wore out an extractor rachet lug on my primary carry 637-2 (converted to 9mm & moonclips).
Swapped in another converted assembly to put me back into operation and have ordered a new cylinder assembly to convert as a replacement. J-frame extractors seem to be hard to find right now.

The first Model 60-1: 3" Heavy Barrel and square butt.
According to Dr. Jinks, the parts were produced in 1972, and a few
experimental revolvers shipped that year. S&W assembled and
shipped 169 units to distributors on June 12, 1978.
This is one of 21 sent to Gil Hebard Guns, Inc., in Knoxville, Illinois.

I really like square butts and blued finishes, it unfortunately don’t exactly have such a gun currently. My current most used and enjoyed gun is a 34-1 2” square butt. I spent years looking for a 2” square blued 34 in my price range. Ended up with my current one sort of reluctantly since it is nickel and I really wanted blue, and just a bit over my price range, but happy to have it now. Very accurate for a small light gun, doesn’t have tight chamber issues like a lot of the 22 revolvers.
There is something about that tall shark fin front sight, I just love the way the 2” adjustable sight guns look. I keep an eye open for blue square JFrames all the time, lucky to see maybe one or two in person in a year
