There was a 1917 similar to this, hanging on the wall for decor, behind the cash register at the Western Sizzlin in Gainesville back in the late 80s- early 90s. Very well liked couple ran the establishment and a great place for a steak dinner. Wish I had a time capsule.
Whoever applied the nickle or chrome finish also plated the hammer and trigger, covering up the normal S&W color case hardening on those parts.
I`ve heard refinishes like this derisively called "bumper jobs", something that might have been done at a shop that re plates chrome automobile bumpers.
I think the chance of it being a special military presentation piece, as someone opined, is zero.
I would consider its only value as a cheap(ish) shooter, I`d guess $350.00 or $450.00, tops.

It’s 6”
Thank y’all for all of the information. I’ll probably advise her to keep it if it’s not worth much. I think keeping it may be worth more than that to her.
