I picked up a Colt Model 1917 tonight. It came with a bit of a bonus. They asked if I was interested in some ammo to go with the revolver and started pulling boxes, bags and Tupperware full of .45acp out of the closet. All said and done, it was almost 1000 rounds. Well, I said I hadn't planned or budgeted for the extra ammo. In fact, on the way there I bought 100 rounds from my favorite LGS. They said that since I had been so much help with the appraising and selling of the grandfather's collection that I should take the ammo and bring them another $100 next month.
As I've said before, I am not very familiar with this revolver; but, gosh it feels good to handle. It seems as rugged and sturdy as they come. It is a "hulk" of a revolver!
Here is the revolver with the reproduction holster I bought last week.
The US Property stamp is under the barrel.
And these markings on the grip.
It certainly makes a good companion to my Eddystone Model of 1917.
