My first S&W? A Model 1917 that I bought at a gun show in 1963 when I was 16 years old. As I recall I paid thirty-five bucks for the gun, and for another five bucks the guy selling it tossed in a Hunter holster.
Thirty-five bucks????? geez you got ripped off! I bought a Colt 1917 in 1964 for $23.16 OTD....I've still got the receipt and the gun. Gun came with two half moon clips, had been refinished badly and had stocks that were enormous. Bought it at Carter's Gun Shop in Shabbona IL. Wow did they have the guns.....don't think I've ever seen so many lever guns in one spot. Ahh....the good ole days.
