Froggie, Not that I've seen unless there had been a special order for one prior to the early 1955 manufacture. Serial numbers, lowest that we have verification of is 55060. I have been adivsed there was a 55040 but has not yet showed up over all these years. The highest Serial Number we have verification of is 57907 and it has a gold (or brass) insert on the front sight. That is the only one I've seen with that feature. The insert is serrated uniformly with the serrations on the steel part of the sight blade.
Compare a Baby Chief (SN 12xxx) over the treasury seal of a $2.00 bill (for a visual size comparison) to a Chief Special Target (one of the engraved) to visualize the different size of the trigger guards.
