I see now that RIA has backed off identifying and describing the BHE S/N 12-0098 as a Steel Shot Special. The only thing left in the description that refers to it being a Steel Shot Special is a letter from the original purchaser that accompanied his deposit to Paul Jaeger, Inc. when the gun was ordered, the letter is dated from Dec. 1987. The Parker Story reported that the Skeuse's weren't approached about developing a SSS model until sometime in 1988.
More interesting . . . more intrigue . . . and more mystique.
