Hi Ecoman,
#3219 is certainly a nice looking 1917 Navy but the absence of visible halos on the barrel serial numbers give me concern, maybe I'm just prejudiced against white lacquer in the markings! 1917 Navies should exhibit pronounced halos on the barrel serial numbers (see photo).
I am entering this gun in the latest edition of the Navy List (due out later this month) but with a caution referring to the missing halos.
Regards, Norm
