My Colt M1917 was shipped to Springfield Armory on Nov 27th, 1917 in the first large shipment of these to the Military. It was also rebuilt at Springfield Armory before WW2. 

 

This is the first pic taken of it when it came in the mail, before I even touched it. :)

Nice! They do, big old brute of a revolver! Lol

 

What's the Army butt number on yours, if you don't mind me asking?

Got my Colt letter on the 1917 yesterday. It was in the first big shipment to the Army. There was one more shipment before this of only 50 revolvers. They all went to Army training/test facilities, ammo manufactures, and such.
