Description:
**SPF** Thanks Sheriff Dave!

Most of our S&Ws are collector quality
Umm.....not this one.  

this is a 36-1 - a Chiefs Special with a 3" heavy barrel 
in Nickel

the nickel is mostly very good - there's no yellowing or flaking.  
But there are spots on both sides that are gouged off.  
Again, see photos and judge for yourself.  

this gun  was carried A LOT by a small town Chief of Police.  He got the gun new when he became Chief and carried it daily for 13more years (and even after he retired)

serial number dates it to 1977
it has diamond grips which are obviously not original - and they're scuffed (see photos) - but that's how it came to us and we're not going to change it.  No idea why he changed them but he must have liked them on there and who are we to judge?   

Comes in a non-original S&W blue box

mechanically this gun is absolutely solid and locks up tight.
It's a great shooter or carry gun and it might still rate as 90%+
But it's no show pony in its current cosmetic condition.

Blue Star Hobbies is listing several S&W revolvers this holiday weekend
please take a minute to look at the others.  

**********Blue Star Hobbies is a group of friends in Central Illinois working together to ocassionally offer up items from our personal collections.  From time to time we may list a rifle or shotgun but our focus is mostly S&W, Colt, & Ruger handguns built between 1946-1980.   Our guns are better than our photography.   We try to highlight flaws with red circles and everything else is usually glare or blanket fuzz.   If you have a question about a photo please ask.  We follow all Federal and State laws and GI policies. Please add $25 for standard shipping.  We prefer payment by check/MO.  (Credit card processing is available but adds 4%).  We will ship to your FFL on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays to minimize in-transit risks.   **********
