A military 1917 will have inspector and U.S. markings, a commercial will not. This one also has British proofs on the barrel, frame and cylinder (between the stop notches).



Note the flaming bomb ordinance mark in front of the hammer on the frame and the eagle head inspector (S2) mark in the yoke cut (below).

Note the serial number and eagle proof on barrel flat (below).
