## Description

Pewter Jewely Pin - Chief Special .38 Pewter Pin. This pewter pin measures 1.1&quot; long and 0.75&quot; wide at the widest point. This pin is hand cast and finished by the artist in America. This pin is made of solid jewelry quality pewter, with a bake lacquered handle and polished antique finish for a quality, highly detailed replica of the original gun. This pewter pin will make an excellent gift for any Police history, SASS, Western or gun enthusiast. The gun is secured to your garment or hat with two pins on the back of the jewelry. The Chiefs Special, which later came to be known as the Smith & Wesson Model 36 was not the first production .38 Special snubby; that honor goes to the Colt Detective Special in 1927. The Chiefs Special was the first 5-shot J-frame .38 Special revolver produced by Smith & Wesson. I would be willing to suggest that it is the most influential compact revolver design of the 20th Century. The Colt Detective Special is gone but not forgotten, as is the S&W Model 10 Military & Police snubnose, but the diminutive J-frame snubnose remains one of the most popular personal defense handguns in the world. In its essential notes, it is copied by Ruger, Taurus and Charter Arms. Whether or not we would declare it the archetypal snubby would come down a matter of personal taste, but the Chiefs Special is certainly the leading contender for that designation. The Chiefs Special J-frame was developed from the very popular .38/32 (.38 S&W) Terrier I-frame revolver. The I-frame was a 5-shot hand ejector double action revolver. It was very popular because it was so small and light, but it was not strong enough to handle the more powerful .38 Special round. The demand was great for a snubby that was small like the Terrier but able to handle the .38 Special. They dubbed it the J-frame. It was introduced at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference held in Colorado Springs, CO, in Oct 1950.
