Model 1917
Is there anyway to date a Model 1917 or is it just somewhere between 1917-1919?
Mine is # 138910

A factory letter will tell you what date it was shipped to the Springfield Armory, or, if your lucky, to a distributor.

Thanks, I was trying to discover if there was a middle ground between paying for a factory letter and the information in the Standard Catalog.

First of all she would be 98 years old and you'd probably never get permission from her nursing home.
(Sorry, just couldn't resist)

Your 1917 was made in November 1918.
