Description:
SCARCE VERY EARLY PRE-WAR COMMERCIAL 1917 .45ACP "N" FRAME REVOLVER, MADE IN VERY LIMITED NUMBERS DURING THE 1920s-1930s TO USE UP LEFT OVER 1917 GOVERNMENT FRAMES, the military versions stopped at serial number 169959, this one is #172XXX making it a very early example, these differ from the more common military variation in that they have the S&W trademark logo on the left side of the frame and have on "Model 1917" etc. markings on the butt or U.S. markings/inspector stamps elsewhere, the commercial model also has checkered walnut grips instead of smooth on the military model, matching numbers, fine barrel blue and ejector rod blue that shows some light holster wear to the sides, some edge wear to the cylinder, frame has good blue in the protected areas with the balance flaking plum, unaltered front sight, exc. marking, bore will clean exc. (looks like it has some leading in the grooves that will brush out), generally exc. grips that show wear but are not chipped or cracked (no serial number inside, but fit perfectly and I assume are the original ones), tight action, lanyard swivel intact, exc. screws, many of these saw police/guard duty etc. and judging from the blue wear to the back part of this one that would be exposed in a holster, I'd guess this was one so used, an "N" frame pre-war variation not often encountered.
