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.

Rifle or shotgun? What type of action; bolt, pump, semiauto, lever? What caliber or gauge?
Who made it? Bolt or semiauto? What do you want to know?
To answer the question we'll need to know more about this pistol. Is it a revolver or a semiauto? What model and caliber? I found a Colt frontier scout .22 with that serial number made in 1962.
It probably doesn't have one. Serial numbers were not required before 1968 (the JC Higgins name was discontinued in 1961) and few manufacturers serialized their small caliber rifles and shotguns.

JC Higgins Model 20 Shotgun does not have a serial number. Guns were not required to have a serial number before 1938
Virtually impossible to determine caliber by just the serial number.
Caliber can not be determined by serial number.
I'm looking for the date of a J.C. Higgins bicycle with the serial number 705495
No way to know the caliber from just the serial number
Serial numbers do not designate calibers. Look on the brrel to ID the caliber.
Can't tell the caliber from just the serial number.
It would be in 36 caliber or 44 caliber...
