Alright fella's,
Here are pics of a Model 1917 I stumbled across on the way home tonight. The finish is pretty piss poor with light pitting at places, but mechanically it seems excellent, with lockup being crisp and tight. Bore seems very nice also. It must be a commercial version as there are no US Property markings. Serial # is 209XXX. I was able to take it home for $225 out the door from a local pawn shop. Usually, I never buy a gun the on first look, but given the price and the fact that I've always wanted a shooter 1917, I said "what the heck...I've done worse, I'll take the chance".
So, given the very poor finish, was this an okay deal? Be honest.
