For whatever reason, I have been taken with the Chiefs Specials lately. Great pocket size and all the power of a 38 Special round.

I was lucky enough to run this beauty down a few weeks ago and finely had it out for a photo shoot.

It most likely shipped in in April 1953 (there is a duplicate number on the books) and I'm hopeful and expect that it will letter as factory engraved [factory engraved confirmed by Roy in letter - see post 29]. It is not perfect, but it is very nice and I love the well-executed engraving pattern. I thought y'all might enjoy a few photos...

Thanks for letting me share,
