S&W 36 help
Step-dad has been looking for a Model 36 .38 special snub nose. Found one at the gun show today, need help finding a little more info as its not your normal model 36 I believe. Regardless got a GREAT deal on it....
Side plate is matte black finish.
Looks like a factory hammer bob...
I really want to think its the NYPD Detective variant with only about 500 made, but my hopes could be high.

Re: S&W 36 help
That doesn't look like a factory bob job to me, but I'm no expert.
Is there a dash and number after the model number (e.g. 36-2), and what's the serial number (you can leave off the last couple of digits, if you like).
Nice gun, BTW. I love J-frame Smiths.

Re: S&W 36 help
I agree bob hammer is not factory
Should be curvier, if that makes sense but could be wrong.
Can you should detail of lettering /embellishes
Something says to me reblue
Could be glare in pictures

$201.00 & I'll throw in the yellows, (those yellow ones taste funny to me anyway) and a stick of fresh, unused, chewing gum, plus two left over pieces of turkey!

Re: S&W 36 help
No idea if it's special or not, but he'd better never sell it! Vintage Smiths are going up in value every year. I'd rather take that over a lousy Airweight any day of the week. Only modification I could think of would be a Tyler T-Grip insert.
