Smith & Wesson Model 36

[Win75]

I just traded for a S&W Model 36 with no dash, pinned barrel, 1 7/8 inch barrel. The gun looks like new but I suspect it has been reblued at some point.
A guy I work with was wanting a game caller and remembered that I had one. The caller is one of the electronic multi-function types that you can buy from MidSouth for $86.00.
He suggested an even trade and I jumped on it.

Now for the question, where can I get info on the manufacture date of this little revolver? Serial number is J492xxx.

Shipped in the 1976-77 time frame.

You would have to letter it with S&W to get more exact.

Swell Deal, But

Look out my friend, you could soon be arrested for "highway robbery";
as a strong armed bandit (laughing loudly )~!

Holy cow!! What a deal. Hey, if you're both happy with it...

Email S&W and they will give you the date. I did that with my wife's 1969 Mod 36.
