Is anything known about what happened to Serial Nos. 1 - 5?

#1 is on display at the S&W factory museum IIRC. 2 & 3 were shipped out of the country, # 4 was being chased by a friend of mine and #5 was shipped to a writer at one of the gun magazines.
I would guess that most of the first 100 are buried deep in private collections and won't see the light of day for years to come.
I started a thread about them a while back asking for photos of early Chief Specials and there were several 5 digit, a couple 4 digit and maybe one three digit. IIRC one member posted about 2 from the first 100 but that was all.
