What is the difference between a commercial M1917 and a model 22?
After WWII, S&W produced the M1917 Army from pre-war frames and parts. They had the new hammer block and most SN's began with S in the 209K-210K range. The Model 1950 or AKA S&W DA .45 has the short throw hammer.


Based on your description of the condition, I wouldn't touch that gun for more than $700. Your seller obviously has an inflated opinion of the gun's value and would likely be offended if I threw that number out.
