I spent my day yesterday doing a tour of Nor Cal gun shops & visited seven shops. I found the following;
M77/44RS, s/n 740-00140, LNIB (no manual though). The store clerk said the owner thought the s/n made it special. Something to do with maybe a subscription number? $850
OM Blackhawk (BKH42), sn 718. Not for sale at this time.
A few Ruger OM Blackhawk .357 & .44 Flattops.
A Standard Auto (RST4) Black Eagle normal bolt ears, s/n 12xxxx
A few nice S&W Model 36's, some with the older flat latch thumb cylinder release buttons & pinned barrels. Some with five screws & three screws. Also, a few nice S&W Model 37's with the pinned barrels.
Recently I was given a S&W 36 box (later blue two piece, with markings of Bangor Punta Company). The box end label is date stamped with APR 29,1976 & hand written is "N" in the Finish box & "3" in Barrel box. The s/n is J397355, putting it in the 1976-1977 time frame. There is a date of April 15,1955 on the inside bottom half of box. There is a manual & the only dates I can find are; Prices effective March 12,1973 & July 4, 1975 is referenced in the warrenty info paragraph. Included with the box is a brochure on Smith & Wesson Ammunition & brown preservative paper. I have been known to bring empty gun boxes & firearms together in the paste. Therefore, my interest in the S&W Model 36. Good day even though I didn't buy anything!
