1917 s&w revolver

s.o.b.

I have a 1917 US marked S&W, that also has English proofs and "Not English Make" on it. I presume it was a WW1 gun that then was sent to England in WW2 for British use under lend lease. The gun is like new, except for surface scrathes where it was probably piled up with other guns. To me this gun is interesting, but how does English WW2 use and the markings effect its value?

s.o.b.

where can i find diagrams, parts list, exploded view.

The Gun Parts Corporation catalog. It's a generic diagram for most S&W revolvers.If you know where I can get a cheap barrel for one, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know.Neal

There was a guy that had barrels and cylinders for the 1917 in SGN a while back...I don't know if he's still in there,or not.
