No published sn data.
For $30, you can get a factory letter that will tell you in what configuration it left the factory, when, etc., and a short history of the model.
A fine revolver.
The "J" frame is the Smith & Wesson small frame revolver such as the model 36 .38 special. The smallest frame, as in the model 36 Chief's Special.
That model was produced in 1922.
@1972
You do not say if you have a police positive in 38 special or a 32 cal & target model,or a police positive special.So if you have a 38 special police positive it was made in 1929,if you have a 32cal& target model that was made in 1927,and if you have a police positive special model that was made in 1923.
Would need model name to answer.
S&W did not make a model called "police special",
if your revolver is an official police 22 cal. model then it was made in 1947
100-500 USD or so
