    Modified S&W 1917, .455/.45LC

    Hi everybody,


    here I am again with questions to the more knowledgeable.
    I‘ve been seing this gun on sale on the Internet for a couple years now, and it has dropped in price from 500 to 250 €.
    Now I‘m starting to get interested.
    I know the 1917 model and I read that there have been a few of them modified as target guns, with quite a few different sights and solutions.
    This one, at least on picture, looks like a very well done job.
    It is on sale by a renown arms shop in Milan, which is not quite around the corner, but still within reach during some work trips, so I guess the conditions should be good as they claim them to be.
    Any suggestions?
    Is such a reworked gun worth anything?
    Actually, if these old horses are accurate, with such sights they should be really enjoyable, which would settle the question for me.
