    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.

    The Silver Dollar Special was, for lack of a better word, a downmarket more affordable version of the Alfermann SBT.
    Lower end OEM wood. Mechanically the same.
    Run of about 50 guns for one dealer.
