Description:
 SCARCE, LIMITED PRODUCTION PRE-WAR CIVILIAN OR COMMERCIAL MODEL 1917 .45 ACP (OR .45 AUTO RIM) REVOLVER, #178XXX.  According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson by Supica and Nahas, aside from a brief explanation of the commercial version of this famed World War I military revolver having checkered commercial grips and the small S&W logo on the frame (etc.) it states “Commercial variation: Considered rare.”  This one is in particularly excellent condition retaining nearly all the original blue- even on the grip straps with only the most minor or wear being a touch at the muzzle, a normal cylinder ring and possibly a tiny ding on the left side of the top strap ahead of the hammer- hardly noticeable and not really worth mentioning. Still retains some light case colors on the hammer and trigger sides. Tight action, excellent checkered S&W diamond grips that fit perfectly, lanyard ring intact, bright bore, matching numbers on the frame, barrel and cylinder. About as nice as one could hope to find. These don’t turn up very often in any condition.
