I was 5 years old in 1957 when my Dad helped me hold and aim his J C Higgins model 36 22cal rifle (which I own today). When I was about 12 years old I asked him when he got his rifle. He said his dad bought it for him when he graduated from high school in 1945. http://www.histandard.info/PDF/Sears%20Rifles.pdf

Your marlin RC (regular carbine) model 36 which has a lower case C prefix was a third model 36 marlin which was made in 1946.
Are you asking about the Smith and Wesson model 36?If so I can say that your J frame model 36 was made in either 1967-1968.
You have the cross over model from Marlin.The model 36 was the precurser of the model 336 rifle that is made today,and the model 93 rifle that was made from 1893-1935.The model 36 rifle with the letter D prefix to the serial number is the 3rd variation of the model 36 rifle and was made in the year 1947.
If manufactured prior to 1/1/1969 no serial number was required and if it was made later it must be clearly visible on the receiver. The Model 36 was made before serial numbes but the latest versions may have the assembly date code. http://www.histandard.info/PDF/Sears%20Rifles.pdf
@1951. It should not be marked Model 36.
The model 36 is a Marlin Model 80.
Your serial number indicates that your early model 36 was made in the year 1954.
