Does anyone know the date of this Model 36?

I just picked this up today. It was as originally sold, unfired. I am not sure of the manufacture date, does anyone know? Is it safe to fire +P? It came in an old style blue cardboard box with user manual and cleaning kit.

S&W Model 36, SN J95555

I don't have TSCS&W in front of me, but I would figure somewhere in the 1970s.

Thanks, guys!!!

Go easy with the +Ps. I'm sure a few wouldn't hurt, but a steady diet would not be a good thing.

Cool. I appreciate the suggestion. I'll only use +P when I carry it, then.

Just wanted to update that S&W replied to me that this gun was made in 1969 or 1970, and is safe for +P.
