Item Description: Translate description
This is an original US Military Model 1917 revolver made in 1918. At some point it was converted to an English target pistol. The base pistol was in excellent condition both for original finish, mechanical condition and excellent rifled barrel. It retains standard US markings consisting of the eagle head proof on the left frame and United States Property on the under side of the barrel. The conversion consists of building a ramp around the original front sight and putting a small but effective fully adjustable rear sight on it. Additionally it is equipped with target grips suitable for a right handed person. The conversion is excellent first class work that any gunsmith could be proud of having done. English markings were applied to the pistol consisting of British inspection and firing proofs. Additionally in small letters “Not English Make”, “Special” and “Magnum”. Those were used to indicate that it was in 45 ACP or 45 Auto Rim rather than the standard 45 Cal English round. English 45 cal cases were slightly shorter than US rounds. The pistol has been gunsmith inspected and test fired to insure that the caliber and chambering has not been modified or changed. It shoots well. The pistol remains in excellent condition with 97/98% original blue finish, excellent mechanical condition, and it still has an excellent sharply rifled barrel. It has no recent importation markings.
