Description: Offered here is a pristine Smith & Wesson Model 36 “Chief’s Special,” the iconic J frame revolver that defined post war concealed carry. This example features the scarce 3 inch pinned barrel, factory walnut diamond checkered grips with S&W medallions, and retains its original blue box, wax paper, and factory paperwork. The bluing remains deep and lustrous with only faint handling marks. Bore and chambers are mirror bright. Cylinder lock up is tight, timing perfect, and all markings crisp. The original grips show minimal wear and fit perfectly. This revolver represents the finest craftsmanship of Smith & Wesson’s Springfield factory during the golden era of American revolver production. The 3 inch Chief’s Special balances beautifully—offering superior sight radius and ballistic performance while maintaining the compact profile collectors prize.
