Greetings all from the West Indies.

My friend obtained and sent pictures of this here revolver for my opinion. The serial number is 284XXX.

Apparently it's a J-frame. I find it odd the serial number carries no letter prefix, as most S&W revolvers usually do. Moreover, the frame is marked "10D-36" underneath the yoke.

What is it? Is it a Model 10, or is it a Model 36?

What is the date of manufacture?

How much would it fetch on the market

Thanks all in advance. Blessings in 2015 to you and family.

    Yes, a model 36 for sure. The finish has seen better days, lots of hairline scratches. The grips are not well fit to the gun. Value probably a couple hundred bucks.

    If you think it's a five shot model 10D, I have a lake in the Sahara desert for sale cheap for you [:0]
    It is a nickel 36 like I said. The crane number is for factory only, except the "36" that "is" the model number [:0]
