Mod. 50 Chief Special Target SN

[roymack]

In 1973, there were 568 Mod. 50 Chief Special Target revolvers produced with SN range 930J45 - 936J19.
I don't understand the sequence of these serial numbers to equal 568. Can someone please help me understand how this sequence works.

it's the "floating" J confusion
93619
-93045
---------
574



Apparently 6 other J frames were in that batch other than the 50's

Thanks very much for clearing up the confusion with the "floating" J.

I saw a minty boxed example on gunbroker in the last few days. I won't post a link since we are not permitted. It should be easy to find doing a standard search. They are rarely seen. VM - thanks for clearing that up for the rest of us!
