Well boys, I just picked up my new Brazilian 1917 this morning. Lots of blemishes, and also lots of blue. It's tight with a great bore and cylinder chambers. Original grips, and a lanyard ring. The serial number is 1934xx. The import mark is on the under lug of the barrel. Diamond grips with same serial number as gun. Brazilian crest on right side of frame with "1937" stamped under crest. It ain't a cherry collectors gun but it's what I wanted for a shooter. Price??? $300 with 1/2 and full moon clips.

Sounds like a decent deal. Pics?

You was very lucky cause it's nearly impossible to find grips with the gun s/n. The importer of mine didn't spoil the gun appearance putting his markings just under the grips but did a mess when grips were reassembled.

You won't be disappointed. They are great fun shooters.

H Richard, What the heck are you doing up at 3:57 am. Michael said he enjoyed visiting with you at Bill's last night. I missed being there but had to "tuff" it out at the Colt meeting surrounded by interesting guns and people.
