The recent "flat thingie" thread fueled my desire to fill what I perceived as a hole in my collection.
Hence:
While perusing the outtasight prices at the Nashville, TN. Fairgrounds show, I found this marked as "model 36" for $550.00.
Upon examination, I realized there was no model # inside the crane.
At that point the dealer said, " That is a private sale and money talks". Well $500.00 talked it out the door.
This is a very tight Chief's Special (pre 36), if you will. Diamond magnas number to the gun, very, very slight turn ring, very light powder residue on the end of two chambers, SN:1063XX. Looks like 1956 in THE BOOK.
Input on price paid is welcome.
Thanks for lookin',
Mike
