Remembering Brazil in WWII: S&W 1917

Douglas,

Amazing information on what is, unfortunately, a largely forgotten contribution to WWII. I feel like I'm pretty knowledgeable on the subject of the Second World War and a lot of this is new to me.

Beautiful firearms as well. My first handgun was a rough 1937 with checkered grips that I foolishly sold to buy text books. Stumbled across a factory-refinished 1917 with the same 1930's grips that I snapped up quickly.
