![]() ![]() ![]() I have one of these guns and a second purchased from the Gander company. The polishing marks seem to be all the same in my opinion. Looking at the auction sites at guns that are for sale I see some of the guns with coarse polishing marks that have the lettering's/roll marks weakened. When I don't know, either before WW2 or at sometime. Some of these guns were arsenal refinished which I believe is something that can believed. But I don't know either the exact story of the M1917's. Pathfinder.you are probably right on your hypothesis. When are you going to extend your research to the S&W M1917? ![]() I'm sure you can tell me what those almost unreadable symbols & numbers are along with the history of the gun. My wife thinks that symbol is a bear? At the very top rear of the frame is an Ordnance Bomb symbol with a smaller circle within the bomb.Īpparently I have never looked critically until your most recently discussions with other forum members. At the back of the cylinder is number 104148 and S24 (or 324) under another tiny symbol. On the frame at the rear base of the trigger guard there is a tiny symbol (looks like a bird?) over the number 87. The crane numbers are 66801 and the frame has the same 66801. The one I'm sure I provided was the butt number 104148. As I recall a couple months ago I made my small contribution to your effort but I'm not sure if I forwarded ALL the numbers on my M1917. I've long been retired and I have numerous time consuming interests but I envy your research and your devotion to it. ![]()
