The same serial number is in the yoke as on the butt. I can't find any info on a serial number like that in the standard catalog of Smith & Wesson.
The "Just Answer" website is B.S. They want $34.00 and do not know .

The 36-1 is listed as a 1967 3" heavy barrel with a standard all number serial number. In 1969 the serial number was changed to a "J" prefix to comply with the 1968 Gun Control Act.

In looking at the serial numbers for the late 60s J-frame guns my guess is that the last digit in your serial number was supposed to be an 8 instead of a B...

I would also go over and ask on the S&W Forums....
