RARE AND IMPORTANT S&W MOD.: THIS IS THE BABY CHIEF SPECIAL
MADE ONLY IN 1950
Description: INCREDIBLY RARE AND IMPORTANT S&W MODEL: THIS IS THE BABY CHIEF SPECIAL
MADE ONLY IN 1950 WITH THE SMALL "I" FRAME TRIGGER GUARD AND HALF MOON FRONT SIGHT, this pre-Model 36 is the grandfather of all small frame .38 special S&W snubbies! Soon after production began the frame size was changed to the larger "J" size and the barrel was made with a rib and ramped front sight, this example in the 2XXX range has the original and matching numbered diamond grips and correct flat latch, matching numbers on the barrel and cylinder, excellent full blue overall with but the most minor of edge wear and a few tiny marks on the butt, excellent inside and out, survival rate of these in unaltered condition is very small- over the past 30 years of being on the lookout for this scarce model, I've found very few in any condition and most I've seen have either been reblued or seen hard use. This one is worthy of the finest collection. The Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson, 4th edition speaks of this model on P. 176-177. It mentions that nationally known S&W dealer David Carroll sold one of these for $3500. Most S&W collectors have never seen one a Baby Chief except in photos. I am pricing this high condition all matching example at $2250.
