I couldn't find a photo thread dedicated specifically to the Army Special. I know how popular they are and how much we love them in all calibers and barrel lengths. So, post 'em if ya got 'em!

This one is a nicely patina'ed 1923 in .38 Special caliber.

I love Army Specials. Here is an early one.

This one is from 1919.

Here's a later model from the 20s.

Here's an early one in 41 Colt.

Here's a spiffy 1920 model that was engraved around 2004.

Here is one in .38 special from 1910 that is beautiful to me despite her age-related imperfections.
Still has that nice old fire blue!

1913 thereabouts, .38 Special. Appears to be Factory Nickel with a whispy-thin and flaking re-Nickel over it. Nothing seems lost from the re-Nickel, fine detail wise. Hammer Top and Trigger, still Fire Blue.
