Description:
EXTREMELY RARE "BABY CHIEF SPECIAL" PRE-MODEL 36, #13XX, MADE 1950-1951. Easily identified by the small trigger guard and non-ribbed barrel with half moon front sight and 5-screw frame, these were the first of the famed Chief's Special snubby .38 Special revolvers. Very few of these were made and they are rarely encountered. This is a superb example with all matching numbers including inside the diamond checkered grips. It retains about all the original blue with only some very light ageing on small portions of the cylinder that you'd have to look carefully to detect. Good case color on the hamer and triggger, Sharp checkered grips with one slight age crack on the left grip center bottom edge that goes nowhere and just looks like a scratch- minor. Overall a truly fine example of the grandfather of all Chief Specials! Now pushing 75 years old.
