Manufactured directly after the 1917 military contract, these commercial Model 1917s lack U.S. property markings and are considered scarce. A check of the factory records indicate the revolver was shipped on September 24, 1931, invoiced to Commercial Hardware Co. (unknown address) and delivered to Thompson-Diggs Co., Sacramento, CA (accompanying factory letter lists the model incorrectly). Matching serial numbers on butt, cylinder and barrel.
