Hello again! I had a Model 36 I bought in the early to mid 90's, carried it for quite a while back then and then put it in the safe. Then I saw a Mod 60 I liked so I sold the 36 and bought the 60. Some of you were kind enough to help me date that after I bought another 60 in the box. That's when I realized that I needed to join this forum. I read where someone said to be careful, this can get addictive. I think he was right!
I recently realized that I really missed my model 36 so I just bought another one. I can't send a pic right now because it's soaking, trying to loosen up a stiff cylinder release. the serial number is 491xxx if anyone could help with an approximate manufacturing or shipping date.

Thanks murphydog for the tip on posting a new thread!

My s/n 456212 shipped in September 1966 so I would estimate your 491XXX would be late 1966 or possibly early 1967.
