Hi Guys,
My Dad traded for this revolver probably 30 years ago and I'd like to know a few things about it.
It is a 5-screw and has serial number 407XX. All the numbers match on the revolver and the correct serial number is stamped into one of the grips.
The man my Dad traded with worked as a detective with the Houston Police Department in the 50's and 60's and carried it daily for a number of years. There are scratches on the butt from it scraping against the seat belt or something while he had it in his holster.
There isn't much wear otherwise. A slight cylinder turn line and a few small specks of old "sweat" rust on the right side.
The box is for a Chief Special but the label says "round butt" and the serial number on the back of the box written in grease pen isn't the right one, obviously. I don't know where he got the box.
Can someone date this revolver for me and give me an estimate as to what it is worth?
Sure appreciate it.
