Default Indiana Jones Style 1917

This is my "Indiana Jones" type Smith and Wesson model 1917. Likely shortened by the Winfield Arms Company of Los Angeles in the 1950's. Still in the original .45 ACP caliber, Winfield Arms was noted for selling modified surplus arms, including surplus 1917's. Shown with its original Winfield Arms holster.

Not much taken with that front sight (looks like it would snag on most anything) but the fact that you can identify it's origins as a modified 1950s revolver is pretty cool. The holster to match the story is icing on the cake. Good on ya!
