Help evaluating a M1917 revolver

[2AD_Vet]

Hi folks,

I have a chance to acquire a 1918 vintage M1917. The LGS is asking $850 for it. I think that is in the acceptable range but I am not expert.

The pictures pretty much show its condition and if you pull the trigger, it seems to lock up tight.

The thing that bothers me about it is that it doesnt seem to have the Colt pony on it. Did early colts have it or is the fact it appears to be missing normal (or coulds this be a SW reciever with a Colt barrel?) Could it have been sanded off?

Thoughts on this revolver would be appreciated. Is it original? is it worth asking price?

Thanks!





Thanks in advance for your help....
