Having read an earlier thread regarding a SS Model 36 I decided to join THR to post my Stolen Model 36. Gun was purchased from an Alabama gunsmith/armorer residing in Casselberry, Seminole County, FL sometime in the late 60's-early 70's. Most likely in the 70's, but not sure since paperwork and box was lost in divorce. The gun was a prototype made from high polished surgical stainless steel. No doubt about this, as it was tested. The front sight was imbeded with orange. The hammer was bobbed so as not to snag in pocket, but had enough left to single action if warranted. The front of the trigger guard was notched so as when your index finger was laid against it the trigger was felt without putting your finger in the guard. I replaced the grips with Crimson Trace first model when they came out with the Model 36 laser grip. Gun was in a black fanny-pack that was between my seats when I took it into tire dealer here in Eustis, FL. I did not notice it was missing for several months, as I never leave the van unlocked and it has a security system and alarm. Having an oil change is the only time that anyone has ever been in my vehilce. Totally my fault, but as rare as this gun is someone may run across it.
