Geoff, I remember handling that gun half a dozen times over 3 months or so trying to make up my mind... Thanks for removing it from my temptations!

If I didn't have #1184 at home already, near mint in the origional finish I would have jumped on it...

Lore has it that the ramp sight and half round sight were intermittant in the first 3,000 guns or so.... I believe that the barrel and half round front sight was "barrowed" from the Pre-War Terrier series....

Another interesting note is that in the Meeting Room Upstairs adjacent to the Engraving Area at Smith & Wesson, Chief's Special No.1 is currently on display..... labeled "Roy Jinks Collection", of course!
