Jackvs1,

Hondo has serial number ranges that are much more precise, with regard to baby chief variations. So I will defer to his wisdom.


On another note, I have found more half moon baby chiefs for sale than those with a smooth ramp. I came across a nickel baby with the smooth ramp sight, but I passed as it did not have any 'N' stamps and the authenticity of the finish was suspect. Had he not been asking top dollar, original or not, I would have brought it home.


Hondo or BMG60 what are your thoughts on nickel guns of this particular vintage as to factory markings? I would expect two 'N' stamps, one on the barrel flat and a second on the frame.
