1917 DA 45
No Military Proofs
Serial matches 1920 production
45 ACP
Checkered grips
Grips and barrel Stamp matches description of “The New Service Commercial Model 1917 Parts Model” from the colt fever website but their description doesn’t include 45 ACP. There were only a thousand or so made. The only other civilian model 1917s I can find were another limited run of 1000 made in 1932 but those serials are about 60,000 numbers higher than mine.
What did I buy? Something special/rare or just an old beater?
