Original WWI 1917 S & W DA 45 ACP revolver with super rare left handed holster and two original half moon clips and original WWI 45 ACP ammo

Serial number 52209

Original blueing is practically mint. Pictures don't really do it justice. Bore is as clean as the day it was manufactured and I have not even cleaned it. It is THAT clean. I doubt very seriously if this gun was ever fired. It belonged to my grandfather who was a lieutenant in WWI and was an electrical engineer in France. His initials can be seen carved in the bottom of the wooden handle (FAK) Frank. A. Kendig. It has literally been in the holster for almost 100 years !!

If you should have any questions - feel free to ask.

The holster is correct for a RIGHT hander. These holsters were designed for use by U.S. Calvary soldiers who, when mounted, were expected to use the saber in their right hand and the revolver in their left hand - hence the left handed cross draw from the holster worn butt forward on the right hip. Later, during WWII, when the M1917 was re-issued, primarily to MP companies, new holsters were eventually manufactured with the butt to the rear for right hand draw. Hope this helps. The holster appears to be in exceptional condition and that is a very nice looking M1917 revolver.
