I would appreciate it if someone could tell me the year of manufacture of my S&W Model 36, serial number J171xxx. Thanks in advance.

Greeting's Paul And A Big Hearty Welcome To TFL-

Looks like your S&W model 36 was made between 1973-1974, as the
S/N range for that period ran from J100000 thru J250000.

BTW, to get it narrowed down even further would require the services
of the S&W historian, Mr. Roy Jinks.
