I need help with two guns
I recently purchased two pistols. If anyone could give me there dates of manufacture I would greatly appreicate it.

1st- Does not have a model # stamped on it but I believe it is a Model 10 serial number on the butt is C965X and where the other gun has the model number it has the number. 7189

2nd- Model 36- serial # 1739XX

Thanks

Welcome to G&G, ryanb.

If your first gun is truly a Military & Police revolver (aka pre-Model 10) then its DOB is a mystery to me. The serial number C 985x doesn't match my charts.

Your model 36 was made around 1961/1962.

The only thing Supica & Nahas has to say is that it dates between 1948 and 1967 (C1-C999999), so my guess would be late 40s/early 50s. What front sight does it have? In 1952, the front sight was changed from a round blade to a ramp. Also, does it have an upper sideplate screw? This was deleted starting in 1957.

A big thanks to those who give me some great information.

Mooseman,
It has the blade sights and the upper screw.

Madcrate,
I will post pictures soon. The M36 gun is in really good shape not sure if it has been re-blued or not.
