Any insights?

Thanks to both of you for your kind comments.
Concerning the finish, all the S&W M1917 arrived in Brazil with a blued finish. Some revolvers had been refurbished here, but that's not the rule. Most that I've seen are still blued (in fact I only saw one that had a parked finish).
Alvin,
What kind of grips yours have? Plain or checkered (with S&W medaillon)?
Douglas.
