Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds S&W Model 36 Price Check

I have a early to mid 1950's model 36 that I may want to sell but have no idea on what the market is on these revolvers.

If it's an early 50's I don't think it will be stamped 36. That started in 55 I think. Looks like a pre 36 flat latch. A friend paid $450 at last weeks show for the same gun except the hammer wasn't bobbed like that one.

Great guns, good luck with sale.

Your gun has been used for its intended purpose, probably 300-400 to the right buyer.

It is stamped Mod. 36 and the serial # is 25xxx.

I bought one last fall at a local auction, paid 370.00, serial number put it in early 60's

Just sold my early 60's Got 425.00 out of it. Well used and hammer bobbed to smooth for coat carry.

Neat older flat latch, likely pre model numbered as others have said. Yours looks well used judging by the bluing, possible hammer mod?, and wear on the grips. I inherited on in very nice shape in its box and was surprised to find it wasn’t worth all that much, maybe $5-$600 tops. My personal opinion on yours is $350-$450. Just my 2 cents

I have a 12” steel plate hanging 70yds out from the back door that I can hit most of the time with mine, I gave $100 for it about 20 years ago, it looks like sin but I feel very calm while it’s in my right front pocket
