Ok - this is a Chief's Special from 1957. The hammer was bobbed long before me and the finish shows many miles of use. I added the Tyler grip adapter. The holster and badge were a gift from a fellow LE enthusiast here on the forum (Thanks again Tony!).
I carry this J frame pretty much all the time. It gets cleaned and waxed once every two weeks. It functions beautifully despite the somewhat haggard appearance. The fancy carved holster only comes out for special occasions.
