Lowest Chief Special serial number

[dacoontz]

EPM, lets see some pics. I'd like to see those pearl grips on the gun or off.

I've got serial number 879 with the half moon front sight,and mint original wood grips. Also, have a mint period s&w period mother of pearl grips that came with the gun. Not sure of actual mfg. date 1950/1951?

FYI, Sohn's auction 11/28, item #179, is Chief Special s/n 499. Unfortunately, hammer has been bobbed.

There is a forum member here who has #99. Maybe he will come forward with a picture.

Still looking for a Chief Special in the 2 digit serial number range. Any new entries?

 

[handejector]

By the way, do we know when or around what serial number the "baby chief's" grew up???

Somewhere in the late 40,000's, I THINK

Does a factory memo on shipping Chiefs Special #28 count?

#99 is owned by Sasaberanger...Thom Braxton in Wheatland, WY.
No pics yet. Gun is home and I am in Cocoa Beach, Fl.
#95 went at Supica Auction in 11/2000 or 2001.
#91 went through David Carroll to a national auction in 12/2007 and was from the same collection that #99 came from. I obtained it from David Carroll directly.

Haven't been any posts for a while so I thought I would bump it up again. Still looking

Been over a year so I thought I'd bring this back to the surface.

 

[ar15ed]

here is #90.

theoretically, it is the last one with the standard sculpted latch and small "service" grips.

Number 1 is in the S&W museum!

No.4

I have a lead on serial number 4. It is open on the books. I spoke to the gentleman who aquired it from the guy that from the second owner. I sent the story to Mike Speers but somehow it didn't get posted.

I am seeing the guy who sold it and I'll try to buy it.
