M1917

[Rocketmedic40]

The oldest revolver in the collection: a Brazilian-contract M1917 revolver with a decent amount of honest wear, but shoots quite nicely. Found it at a gun show mislabeled as a .38 for $375 with broken plastic grips, put some Altamonts on it and it’s a lot of fun. Fits nicely in my WW1 collection.

Very nice! The three oldest S&W revolvers in my modest collection are:
U.S. Army Model of 1917 ca. 1918
.32-20 M&P (1905 4th Change) ca. 1923
.44 HE 3rd Model (W&K Model of 1926) ca. 1927

I wish that one of them was a 6-1/2" Triplelock, but hopefully that may happen in the near future. Enjoy!
