Thank you, once again my memory failed me!
I believe we call that getting old! The person that calls that the " Golden Years" is a young man, with good eye sight, good hearing, and fast reflexes! Welcome to my world!

I've been old, now I call it getting OLDER!
This one would not letter. Assuming a 36-1 was "turned into" a Target. I tried the SWCA SWHF and 1971 guns are not in the conversion yet. Who ever did it, either the custon shop or some good gunsmith, it was very well done.
But we can't forget the best og the 3" 36 Targets, The 36-6.

At least your gun will function correctly! My first CST(many years ago), a 36-1, is a fake also but the producer did not change the front sight! When I bought the gun Mr. Jinks could not provide a factory letter because the records, at that time, were in storage and inaccessible! I have never fired the gun because I am afraid it will shoot the next county over! I still own the gun and count it as part of the cost of my S&W education!

A very unique example----never seen one quite like that-----very likely will never see another one.

Yep a gunsmith special. Clearly not factory but very functional. 1950's or '60's style front sight construction; usually by smith's accustomed to sporterizing rifles and those front sights.
Yes it had a 1/2 round front sight but that's long gone. Looks like the front blade is a bit too tall so shoots low and why the rear sight is adjusted a little extra high.

The tall front sight will make it shoot low, not high.
Of course, thank you. My mental dislexia strikes again.
