A friend of mine's father recently passed away. His mother would like to sell his 2 handguns. I trying to help him out as he isn't a gun guy.
1) Smith and Wesson model 36 2" bbl. blue 38 spcl ser# j721xx
2) Smith and Wesson appears to be victory model dull grey finish, case hardened trigger and hammer, 4" bbl,,38spcl, lanyard ring, smooth walnut grips, BUT there is no V in the serial number and I can't find any flaming bombs or other US property markings. bbl., cylinder, frame, extractor, all have the same ser# 997xxx. crane of the gun has the number 39538. I tried to do some research on this one, but I am real confused. Any info on these 2 guns would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for help in advance. Tim
