UPDATE
Thank you all for your very useful information. This 17-2 was listed on GB by a highly rated dealer so back on 8/26 I made an opening bid of $600 which was the starting bid with no reserve. The auction ended earlier tonight. and I was the winner at $600, no other bids were made. The seller's listing included 76 very detailed photo's, some of which I have attached here, and after carefully studying them and keeping your remarks in mind I think (and hope!) I have bought a very fine S&W at an excellent price. I plan to shoot this pistol and keep it in as good as condition as I can.
Some of you have commented that these stocks predate the gun by a decade since they don't have the relief cut on the left side and they could be worth something on their own. You can see the right side has a small sliver missing near the checkering
so I would assume that will affect their value?
