Short, little revolver, been my in-case-of-emergency desk gun for years. But, the kick is a little much for my hands these days. Only a few dozen rounds through her, as to be used to firing it. Now I'm looking to use the profit from this to move on to a 9mm of some kind.

Got two boxes of brand spanking new .38 spesh ammo from Browning for it a couple months ago, so I'll throw that in. Also have the cylinder worth of hollows and about 25 rounds of the old ammo. I'm not sure if it's still good, but I'll offer it in case you have some use for them.

Bodyguard, baby. Heck yeah!

Any chance this is a " floating J " serial number?

 

[Fystem]

Alas, no, I don't think so. But, I'm no expert in such things in the first place!

Nice Bianchi Lightning grips.

It doesn't have a pinned barrel, so no.

Model 36?

Model 36?

37, I believe. It has the round part of a the hammer visible from the side with the grip removed, which to my understanding is the difference.

 

[CLT65]

The 37 has an alloy frame. That looks like steel?

The model number should be stamped on the frame under the crane. It's in the shadow in your last photo

Oh! Yes, then it is a model 36

 

[CLT65]

That's a good price on a nice gun.

I won't be able to make it up your way anytime soon before someone else comes along and buys it, but if by some unlikely chance you still have it in a couple weeks...

When I search for model 36, I see only exposed hammer pistols. What does the model # stamp say? Can someone clarify a bit more? I want to understand exactly what it is before potentially purchasing.

It appears to me to be an exposed hammer gun, with aftermarket grips covering the sides of the hammer.

The stamp says model 36. Photographic evidence!

And yes, that's exactly how it's setup.

 

[ExPiney]

Got it. I never saw grips like that before.
