Scottz63 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted October 23, 2020 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.

Scottz63 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted October 23, 2020 Cool. I'm guessing sometime in the summer of 1918 for that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottz63 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted December 11, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
