My New 1972 Chiefs Special

[RoyS]

Hi Gents,

With much gratitude to a forum member, I have been able to aquire a beautiful circa 1972 Chiefs Special as new in box, complete and all matching. A worthwhile and welcome addition to my fledgling Chiefs collection.

Cheerio,

Roy

The year I joined the Air Force.

Thank you so much for all your kind words gents,

I'm always a little nervous at posting just to 'show off' a new addition but I've you chaps are anything like me, I just can't get enough of seeing beautiful old Smiths like this one, so I thought if anyone can appreciated it you guys would.

A silly idea but now I have a ANIB 1972 Chiefs Special, I'm thinking perhaps I should try and collecting similar examples for each year of the whole decade....

Cheerio,

Roy

Oh, I heartily agree. Then the '60s, and then the '80s, and then....

Looks like a gun that is a sheer joy to look at alone. Sure miss that ole deep bluing applied to guns back then.

That's a real beauty you've got there Roy.
Also looking forward to watching your Model 36 family grow. I finally figured out what causes babies. Now I know what causes little Chiefs...
"Thinking"???
Thanks for sharing picture of your new arrival.

Nice gun Sir

 

[ME94]

Definitely a beautiful revolver and yes I enjoy looking at everyone's collection. There is no way that I could collect everything that has been shared in pictures. It is really nice to be able to admire others firearms. So thanks to everyone

The only ANIB S&W that I own is a 1976 version and, like yours, the only evidence that the box was opened is the crumpled brown paper. They are beautiful!
