Model 36 Acquired

[RenoGuy]

Acquired an older blued snubby Model 36 yesterday with a pinned barrel and was curious about it's age.

Serial # on the heel is 7J32XX with the numbers 42658 on the yoke.

Thanks in advance.

1971 - 72.

That number in the frame recess which is exposed when you swing out the cylinder was used as a reference in matching up components during manufacture. It has no significance beyond that.

Your revolver most likely shipped in 1971.
