Years ago I researched HH Harris. I found HHH ad, in American Rifleman, I think it was November 1955. If I recall correctly HH Harris had a full page ad with the Chief Special Target featured.

Sal, Herbie Harris was able to get some very interesting guns from S&W and many of the unusual guns found in this area do letter to Harris. I have a couple of other examples. this is a very early Model 60, all the metal parts including the medallions and grip screw were stainless. The gun was high polish when sold but shows wear from use. I have included the original order letter and some copies of ads S&W published for the gun.
This next gun is a Model 48 in factory nickel. S&W never cataloged these guns in nickel but Herbie was able to get one on special order.
