MOdel 572 barrel marks

[dhuntington]

I have a 572 with an X denoting December and D denoting either 1935 or 1957. Is there any way to know which one it is? Mine has a copper colored barrel. on the very rear end of the barrel is a number which looks like 35 or 36. The second numeral is either a 5 with the loop closed or a six with a flat, squared off top like a five.

They didn't make the 572 in 1935

The copper colored barrel sounds like a lightweight M/572 Buckskin Tan.
