Smith and Wesson J Frame S/N Prefix look up

[rklessdriver]

I don't own enough Smith revolvers (yet) to need the book but if someone here just happens to have a copy and wouldn't mind...

I recently bought a Model 36 S/N AEZ 3XXX.

Round butt, NOT a pinned barrel but does still have the hammer mounted firing pin. No Dash under the crane (just stamped Mod. 36).

My best guess is 1984-85 mfg.

Pics and range report to follow in the Revolver section.
thanks

1984 is what the SCSW would guess also, enjoy it and I'll look forward to your range report.

Thank you.
