I'm looking for some feedback from anyone on here that knows a bit about the S&W Model 36. I came by this gun recently and now I am getting some conflicting information from a couple of different gun shops. Mainly, I am looking for the correct year of manufacture and whether or not this is a "dash" or "no dash" model. First up is a general pic of the gun.
It does shoot .38 Special and it has a 3" barrel. The serial# on the butt of the grip is 522XXX.
Here is a shot of the MOD. 36. One shop owner told me that it is a dash model as he could see the dash in front of the 36. I looked later with a magnifying glass and I think that mark is simply a casting or other kind of mark. And I thought the dash models showed the dash after the 36. I have read that the dash models bring less money. I told this certain shop owner that I wasn't interested in selling the gun-just looking for correct info.
So, I'm mainly looking for
1. Year of mfr (I know I can contact S&W but thought I would toss it out here first).
2. Dash or No Dash model
3. Any other information
