AND, it is documented as being shipped to a far Southwest Virginia police department, not all that far from where I live. I've been to Norton, Virginia several times and a friend of mine worked in Wise County for a number of years.
While I also ooh and aah over NIB firearms, the OP's 1917 was used in an area I know and was factory modified for a LEO, in a caliber that I enjoy shooting. I find that to be a very interesting handgun. I know if it were mine, I wouldn't let it go for $500
