Here are a few photos of my Model 1917 commercial of early post WWII vintage. The serial range is 209,9xx and it is without the "S" prefix of some of these models. The whole gun is pretty nice and is original except for the later grips and a missing butt swivel although the securing pin for the swivel is still there.
Note the large S&W logo on the left frame and the smaller ejector rod assembly and comparably smaller recess cut under the barrel. This might suggest that the barrels were not simply old stock leftovers. (Sorry that the photos don't offer more detail. they are the best available for now.
I would be interested in knowing the number of these post WWII models produced and whether the "S" prefix or the non"S" were more abundant.
