Model 1917 with 1950 barrel
Here is a picture of mine. Bought it from a local pawn shop a couple of years ago. My best guess is it was re-barreled with a model 1950 barrel and re-blued at sometime in it's life. The serial number is 1245XX and all the serial numbers match except the barrel that has no numbers. The barrel is marked on the left side SMITH & WESSON. On the right side it is stamped .45 MODEL 1950 . The barrel has been cut away to accommodate the mushroom head on the extractor rod. It has flaming bomb, ST2, and ST21 proof marks on the frame. All of the stampings are crisp and not buffed out. There are not any factory rework stamps on the grip frame , so who ever did this, did a professional job. It wears a modified set of K frame grips. Minimal wear and it is a great shooter.
