Uncommon adjustable sight 36?
BC38, see if you SN is listed here. I've been keeping the count along with Joe Cebull for near 30 years now. All the best, Sal Raimondi

Looks like I have the latest addition to the database.
I just picked up 149995 today.
I'm guesstimating it at about 80%, maybe 85% finish.
All original except the grips. Need to find a set of period correct square butt diamond magnas to make it right.
No box, or other goodies, just the gun.
I'll get some decent pictures to post once it clears BGC jail and comes home with me.

Haw anyone seen a 60-1 3" Target? Tim Mullin was looking for one when he was doing his book on J-frame revolvers (in limbo now since Blake Stevens died). I have seen quite a few 60-1 2" Target models but never a 3" one.
OP
Leroy, pass the word ... if he needs pix ... I have one, in the box. Best Regards, Sal Raimondi

Thank you. Got you covered, now part of the list. Sal Raimondi

IT's on the list now. If you have trouble finding the correct grips, contact me. Congrats !! Sal Raimondi
Took the butt ugly rubber off - no signs of rust or other marks under them.
So I gave it a quick rub down and wipe off. Then I put the wood off my M36 3" on it for a couple of quick photos.
Not the greatest pictures in the world - I'm not much of a photographer. Fact is about half the pics I took turned out blurry and unusable. I hate how you can't really tell how they'll turn out looking at the camera's screen. I'll have to take some more later, but here are 4 of the best ones I got this go around.

I must have missed something.
Are you selling them, looking for them, or what?
Sorry for the confusion the target model I just bought has non Smith & Wesson grips on it look like Maple, and look homemade but a very good job. I will be looking for period correct ones soon.
Gotcha, so you're looking for the same thing I found for mine. A set of un-numbered black-washer diamond magnas.
Hope you find them. Shouldn't be too terribly difficult.
I just noticed the label dosen't say target was this the standard box label for these target models in this time frame?
Far and away, the majority of boxes for targets I recall, have a 'T' or 'Tar' or 'Target' written on the label with black grease pencil. Volume was so low, I don't know if there was a specific label for targets, and likely I'm just remembering labels from other target models that are actually stamped "TARGET".
