Condition Notes (Heavily Used)
Cylinder Wear:

The cylinder shows heavy finish wear, with bluing significantly worn off or patchy, likely from extensive holster use or long-term carry.

Drag line is prominent, and there may be signs of light pitting or corrosion on exposed steel.

Frame and Body Wear:

The frame exhibits large areas of finish loss, particularly on the high points like the barrel, trigger guard, and top strap.

Possible surface rust, light pitting, or discoloration in exposed areas.

Grip frame may show signs of wear or finish fading near the backstrap and tang.

Grips:

Wood grips may have dings, wear to the checkering, or small chips.

Mechanical Considerations:
Even with cosmetic wear, the Model 36 is a robust revolver. You’ll want to verify:

Cylinder lock-up (check for tightness)

Timing (ensure cylinder indexes correctly)

Trigger and hammer action are smooth and reliable

Overall Impression:
This Smith & Wesson Model 36 shows extensive exterior wear from heavy use or long-term carry. However, it‚‚s still a classic concealed carry revolver, especially valued for:

Compact size and simplicity

Mechanical durability

Historical significance (introduced in 1950 as part of the Chiefs Special line)

Shooter-grade firearm

Restoration project

Budget-friendly defensive revolver
