Here's my M1917 Sn 54,1xx,all correct #'s. Finished by S&W in 1967(have ltr) hence the S&W logo, grips and "made in USA" info on right side

Nice pair of 1917s, I like the Smith better, but either one was good Hun medicine in the "Great War."

Wow, there are some sweet pieces in this thread! Maybe one day I'll run across an original, which aren't too common hereabouts. Until then, I'll have to make do with a hacked on version. Yes, I know, I need some grips.

Yes, I know, I need some grips.

Well maybe just swap those pearls for some ivory. That would make a damn nice BBQ or Sunday Go To Meetin' gun though!

I really like those grips. Are they just re-shaped Magnas? The way too small standard stocks make the revolver unshootable in my paws.

Find a Tyler T grip for it. I have big hands also and it keeps the period look and helps a lot.

My two 1917s:

Can you say "project guns"???

 

[Croft]

Heres mine, The barrels been cut down (can you tell) to 3-1/2, was to have been 4" but the smith had a bunged up barrel and was able to save my orriginal. It's been re-blued and she's a beaut.

2nd try.....This is my S&W M1917. Sn # 54,179. It was factory refinished(have ltr) That's the reason for the S&W logo, marca registrada, on right side, and non-issue grips

 

[fem]

This is my M1917 S&W. It was refinished at S&W(have letter) hence the S&W logo and Marca registrada on right side as well as the non-issue grips

Beautiful guns guys. I'm beginning to understand why I've had difficulty finding a nice 1917!!!

Fem -

When did you send yours in to S&W for refinishing? It looks great!
