Default Lowest Chief Special serial number
The Chief Special is one of my favorite S&W's. Wondering who here on the forum has the lowest serial number of this old workhorse. Mine is 12433. Still looking for a 2 digit.

At 2018 mine is not the lowest that has been exhibited here on the Forum. It lettered to J. S. Oshman and Son Houston, Texas and was shipped in March of 1952.

I thought my Baby Chief had a pretty low S/N at 6855, but I've already been whooped good here.

This is interesting. I have Number 651 shipped November 9, 1951 to Charles Greenblat Company, New York, New York! Did Number 383 ship AFTER that?

That is cool, my birth month and year, any chance it is the 23rd??
If you decide to sell it, I'd be interested.

Very neat, it didn't take long to get a 4 digit and a 3 digit example. I am discounting Tired Gunsmith's 2 digit as it is no longer in his possession.

By the way, do we know when or around what serial number the "baby chief's" grew up???
