I think I was at the same show (Fishersville?) but missed that Model 30... what part of the room was it in? I've seen quite a few 30s but never one with a canted front sight. If it had no dash, it should have been an "Improved" I-frame and had the same profile for grips and trigger guard as a Baby Chief, if memory serves. Did you see anything else of interest? I was pretty unimpressed, but it looks like I missed at least one gun I should have looked at.
