Only model that S&W made that had two different model numbers for the exact same gun. Early ones ('55 & '56 production) were before model numbers, middle ones were model 36's, later ones were model 50's, last ones were model 36-1's. Just nine variations, according to "The Standard Catalog of S&W", were made over the years. 2" barrel round butt and 3" barrel square butt pre-model number, model 36's and model 50's. After S&W went to the 36-1 stamp, they did a run of 2" barrel square butt guns along with the regular 2" round butt and 3" square butt guns.
