    Smith and Wesson model 1917

    Thanks for the info. According to the number i do know that it is made in 1919. But was there a smooth grip or a checkred grip on it? A friend of mine is a gundealer. He offered me a original grip and a lanyardring. One thing is for sure. I am happy with it.

    Top break I frame needs reassembled

    Do not give up and take time to repair it. I do have lessons learned with a Iver Johnson model 1900 in .38S&W. Disassemble was no problem. But to put it together was a different story. I really do have learned a lot of new Dutch words which none of them will ever find a place in a dictionary...
