17-8 Heritage Series (6 shot) out of the PC, circa 2001. S&W also offered them in all blue.
Wow. I'll bet that gun is stunning in person. Never seen one like it and didn't even know they made a heritage series. Perhaps I should rethink my policy of not looking at the more modern offerings. Here's the question...does she shoot or just pose with those little boxes of pop rocks?
We shoot it. My wife claimed it for a while and it cost me a Woodsman Sport to get it back. I had to change the grips, the factory service style just don't cut it at the range.
Doug Turnbull did the color case on these.
That's good stuff right there. The few times I can get my wife to the range she spends 99% of her time with a .22 auto of some variation.
Great photos...the case coloring on your gun is handsome indeed.

s&wchad, any idea how many like yours were made? I saw one that looked like yours(no box or doc) at a recent gun show, but it had the LOCK on it. I miss my sport model from 1937 but not the X Wife
Such is life. Beautiful 17-8. Kyle
