I have a J Frame 36-1 serial # 04668. How can I find the date this revolver was made?

That’s likely not the serial number. It will be in the bottom of the grip frame. Depending on the grips, you might need to remove them to see the serial number. It likely starts with a J.

I agree - I've never seen a S&W serial number starting with a zero.

I removed the grips and the # is 4J4836 I'm having trouble loading photos. Sorry, I'm not as computer literate as I should be.

The way I read the tables, your M36 shipped in 1971.
