Well now, 1917 Colt revolver in my sights

[baltimoreed]

My very first New Service was a 1917 but it was cut down to a snub. Bubba had cut the bbl but never squared it so it keyholed. It got sold unfortunately. Of course in my old age I’ve cut and faced about a dozen pistols, rifles and sg’s. If I knew then what I know now. Planning on having a fellow cas shooter/ smith build me another snubby out of a NS but its been made into a .45colt. It has a real provenance but with the rechamber [from .455] and a heavy polish and reblue it’s just a shooter with a history.
