Default 1956 Pre-36 Chiefs Special
A steal on a local auction. 98% condition. I could flip this for twice what I paid but it was a bucket list revolver.

Very faint line on the cylinder but other than that it looks unfired.

Grips match. Never taken off as they showed a faint line from the factory that was taken off easily with oil.

I only wish I had the box.

I got lazy and used a phone camera with light box instead of my Nikon pro camera. Shoot me.

There weren't very many "pre-36's" without the upper sideplate screw.
Nice score!

That’s so nice it looks like it was put in the nightstand and forgotten.
