Item Description: WW I US Army issued S&W .45 revolver with 1/2 moon clips and US stamped leather holster. This has been sitting in my safe since I acquired it, so time to let someone else appreciate it. Looks to have original finish on metal and wood. My gun guru has put it at 90 - 91%.

ARs
SKS
Bows
Crossbows

What would pique my interest first:

> BLR
> Lever gun in .44
> Citori 20 qa
> Double barrel shotguns
> A5 Wicked wings style shotgun
"This was a sidearm born of necessity. The U.S. needed to fill a shortage of handguns as involvement in the First World War loomed. Thus it made perfect sense for Smith & Wesson to tool up for a .45 ACP revolver — one that could use ammo already being produced for the new 1911s interchangeably.
“Smith & Wesson’s Model 1917 revolver can perhaps best be described as an expedient that actually worked,” wrote Tom Osborne in Smith & Wessons of the Great War, from Gun Digest 2011. “Procuring revolvers to supplement the semiauto pistols seemed a reasonable solution to the handgun deficit.”"
