Over the holidays, I acquired my parkerized S/W M17 DA revolver, 54K, April 1918, from my favorite dealer. I actually like it better than my 1917 M1911 Colt; I guess I'm a revolver man at heart. They recently acquired a blued one at the SOS show, 145K, November 1918. The price is only $200 more than what I paid for the other one. I had wanted blue in the first place, but I like the parkerized one. I've asked If I can trade mine back for this one. It's missing the lanyard ring, but I found one on eBay for $20. I presume a blued original is worth more than a WW2 refurbished one? Both pieces are numbers matching.
Considering the safety was broken off during shipping of my qve45 K43, I think they'll go easy on me.
Yea or Nay?
