Alfermann vs Alfermann Silver Dollar Special

Can someone compare/contrast these two models?

Clearly both from the same makers but I don’t understand the differences and reason for more than one type.

TIA,

Merlyn would be best at answering this but my understanding is the SIlver Dollar Specials were custom ordered by the Silver Dollar gun Club. They were chromed black, and featured higher ribs and some of the ribs were interchangeable. The receiver is the Mohawk style, where the rib continued down the back of the receiver and ended at the stock. A few standard Alfermann's also were built as Mohawk but the majority are "Bald". They have a special log on the receiver bottom and may have had custom serial numbers for that lot (about 50).
I may have gotten some of these wrong but I believe that is the bulk of it.

 

Jaquas currently has one of each for sale.

 

The boys made 60 of the Silver Dollar Specials for Bill Jacobsen. I am sure Merelyn of one of the boys will get all of the correct information out here for you'all

 

All,

Thanx for the info!
