I can not tell from the image if the Blue is original or not.
If it is, then this Colt is of course in very well preserved condition.
The Ivory Stocks themselves appear old and are likely quite valuable in themselves.
The Colt 'New Service' or in this instance, the Model of 1917, is a larger Grip and Finger reach to the Trigger, than the N-Frame S & W, so, depending on Hand size, it may be a little too big, or it may be just fine.
I presonally am very fond of both the S & W and the Colt Models of 1917, and, if one likes the older Big Frame Revolvers, certainly one of each would be the ideal.
