Just A Little Eye Candy.............

[Camp]

At least to me! :grin:

A very close friend (elderly lady) that was like a mom to me, gave me this after her husband "Pop" passed away. He carried with him for years but kept it almost mint. So regardless of what it was, I would never sell it due to the sentiment attached.
May not be worth much but I will treasure it until handing it down some day to my son.

I think I'll only carry it on "dress up" occasions like weddings and such!

S&W, .38 special

Good for for saying you will never get rid of it.... Sentimental things are always worth more than money...

It is model 36.

I don't have a S&W book to look the serial # up but did find this on another forum for the J frame 36's.

----------------------------------------------------------
J serial Prefix serial numbers.
For models 36, 37, 38, 49, 50.

1969-1970 = J1 - J99999
1971-1972 = 1J1 - 999J99
1973-1974 = J100000 - J250000
1975-1976 = J250001 - J370000
1976-1977 = J370001 - J610000
1977-1978 = J610001 - J670000
1979-1980 = J670001 - J760000
1981 = J760001 - J915400
1982 = J915401 - 1J18600
1983 = 1J18601 - 1JXXXX
----------------------------------------------------

Mine has #...1J002##

So was is it in the (1982 = J915401 - 1J18600)
"1J002##" coming 18,400 +- prior to but in sequence to 1J18600

Or made in (1971-1972 = 1J1 - 999J99) assuming that 1J1 in the guide above actually would be stamped "1J00001" not just "1J1"



I'm thinking 1982
