Mfg. date on my m36

[gbates]

I recently acquired a Mod 36 from an estate and would like help on the date of mfg. S/N 4382xx , round butt, diamond grips, raised latch and a pinned barrel. Any help would be great. Thanks

Model 36-1 s/n 456212 shipped September 1966 . . . I estimate your s/n 4382XX would have shipped roughly four to six months earlier in 1966.

I have the same question on my model 36 no dash that I just stumbled on. Blued, pinned, 3 screw, flat latch, diamond grips, round butt, serial # 319494

Anyone?

That helps me narrow it down, thank you. So likely '62 to '64?
