Alright everyone, I think I have a heart breaker on my hands. If my research is correct, this a model 1917 Commercial version. Should be so so soooo sweet. Yet, at some point, someone replaced those plain walnut stock grip with a weirdly orange plastic one. Absolutely heartbreaking. However, it is still a very rare find. From my research only around 1,000 of the "truly" commercial models remain in existence. It is easy to prove that this is a commercial vs a military refurbished by the S&W insignia being on the left side, which only the commercial had, and the fact that the finish is factory nickel not blued. As always, I am sure some of you experts in these old Smiths know more than me and can correct any mistakes I have made. I'm looking at my S&W standard catalog 4th edition on page 192-193 for my information. Serial number is 179833. Since the stocks are plastic for a tricked out rocky top look (Go big orange?) I will be asking $500 OBO since even though it is rocky top orange it is still considered a "rare find" by the standard catalog but I am willing to hear reasonable offers.
