We need a J frame pic thread. Here is my contribution.
I cannot argue with that!
Here's an early version with a 1951 ship date, and SN 101.
And a Centennial likely shipped in early 1955

Here are a couple of oddballs built on the J-Magnum frame and released after the Models 60-9 & 60-10 came out in .357 Magnum.
Both are chambered in .38 S&W Special.
This is the sole Model 60-11 I've seen. This Model 60-13 is one of three I've seen.

I had quite a few J and K frame snubs - this is the only J frame left - and it's my EDC:
We may as well toss in a couple "Target Models" here, too.
Kind of odd to have a 2" target piece, but they exist, so I was compelled to get one (and then another). Actually they shoot pretty well!
Top is a Model 60-1, aka the "Ashland Target" model. Authorities claim that only about 660 of these were made (but there sure have been a lot of them up for sale). It is a 3-screw, round butt, that shipped about 1985
Bottom is a "Chiefs Special Target". It's a 3-screw, square butt, high polish blue, not model marked, so it preceded the Model 36 and Model 50. Shipped around 1961.

My model 638-3 and 31-1.
Ok I'm in….
Model 63 not pictured. Two of the model 36s I bought from the Armored Car company I worked for when they were getting rid of old weapons. The square butt is a flat latch. The one with Eagle grips needed a new hammer and barrel (someone filed down the front sight). My gunsmith took serrations out of the triggers and polished faces smooth.
The 442 is a factory replacement for an early 642 I sent back with a cracked frame (which I learned about on the forum and checked for).
