I just bought a Chiefs Special Airweight with the original Sun Ray box for under $500. The gun and box are in excellent condition, but not mint. The Airweight frame has very little high edge wear and no large wear spots or rust on the steel parts. The box has some wear on the edges but no tears and minimal fading. Original wrapping paper is enclosed, but no cleaning brush or flyer.

The serial number is in the low 82,000 range. Can one of the SWCA members kindly tell me what year it was made?

I am going to guess around '54-'55 but I am not that well versed on mfg. dates.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
