Since 1952 was the first year S&W produced and shipped the
largest number of Chiefs Specials since the model's start in late
1950 I have managed to gather quite a few into the herd.
My most notables are an early smooth ramp front sight model,
serial number 2928 (Feb. '52), a birth month model, serial
number 6634 (June '52), my earliest nickel model, serial
number 14560 with a serrated ramp front sight (Sept. '52), and a
former Montgomery, Alabama, police officer's model, serial
number, 11920 (Sept. '52), which was beyond worn so I had a bit
of work done to make it into what a Navy Chief friend of mine
called the "ultimate vanity Chiefs Special."
