    I quit going to gun shows 3 or 4 years ago, got to be where it just wasn't worth the trip. Still stop in pawn shops once in a while. Rummaged through the pistol vault at my buddy's shop today and came up with this S&W M1917 that I think is a Brazilianicon Contract M1937. Nothing really special, well used, crest has been ground off and kinda rusty on the outside but the chambers and bore are in good shape. Came with a few rounds of ammo and 8 or 10 half moon clips for $300. Not too bad for a working shooter grade M1917 I don't think.
