Below is information from the Smith and Wesson standard firearms catalog S&W 4th Edition Catalog Info:

1917 Army (postwar - transitional)
Caliber – .45 ACP or .45 Auto Rim, reintroduced May 1946, double-action revolver built on the square butt 5 screw N frame with 5 1⁄2" barrel, 1⁄10" forged round blade front sight, with a square notch rear, non shrouded extractor rod, supplied with half moon clips, magna style checked diamond walnut grips with S&W monograms, blue commercial finish, .265" checked hammer spur with serrated trigger, now a commercial version of the 1917 Army. At the conclusion of WWII 10,000 frames and spare parts stamped in the 1930s were purchased back from the government, assembled and sold as late as 1949 50 again as the Model 1917 Army.
(Believed that fewer than 1000 commercial versions were made in a serial number range of S209792-S210782 with an S serial prefix to indicate the new postwar hammer block, and continued within the 1917 serial number range. One knowledgeable collector reports that these guns are sometimes encountered without the “S” serial number prefix. These commercial versions had the S&W trademark on the sideplate and may or may not have a lanyard ring. Produced circa 1946-1950.) "............
