Nice gun...I've always wanted one too. I did however get a 1917 S&W though, but it wasn't in very good shape.

Three of my favorite pistols are my Colt and S&W 1917s, and a shaved Webley MkVI. Great guns, you'll love it.
It may just be a trick of the light, but is there a bit of a barrel bulge just forward of the 'U' in "United"?
