For sale is a shooter-grade pre-model 17. The gun is in mechanically sound condition and has a fantastic trigger. However, it is by no means a collector-grade gun. Only the gun is included - no box or anything else. I’ve tried to photograph the flaws. Asking price is $675 shipped from my FFL to yours. Electronic payment methods are strongly preferred.
The serial number is K418XX, which I believe puts this at 1948 for a date of manufacture. It is a five-screw gun and does not have a model number; the serial number is found only on the butt of the gun, and these markings are present on the frame:
The grips seem to be original judging by their condition, but I did not see any markings/serial numbers. The right panel is cracked at the medallion (see photos). The rest of the photos:
