I have been visiting this forum for quite some time as a watcher only, but today I am looking for some help. I recently acquired a Smith & Wesson model 36 Chiefs Special .38 that was my grandmothers carry pistol. I am thinking that is about 30 years old but I don't have the means to confirm anything about it. I was hoping that someone with a little more knowledge could tell me the age by the serial number. I tried to do some research on the age and the only thing I came up with was another question. On all of the model 36's original boxes there is the information sticker with the model #, the finish, barrel length, and so on. Well all the ones that I have seen have had the "special features" box empty, but mine actually has something in that box, it says #1625. Can anybody tell me what is referring to?
Number on the butt: 7J74xx
Number under the model# by the cylinder: 57091
Any help is greatly appreciated.
