Looks fiendish! Did you buy either?

.45 cal large frame [pre-N frame?] S&W...Old...

What's he want for it???

The circle-S looks familiar; but not through the serial number...I don't recall what it means, someone here will know...

It's a S&W 1917 Commercial, not very many of these around. I plan to get a letter on it to see when and where it was shipped from the factory.

The jury is still out on the Circle S Lugers, there doesn't seem to be very many of these around either.

I'm about to retire from a very large telco after 34+ years, thought I would treat myself to a retirement gift before I start my next career.

I've got one of those. Yours seems in a little better condition than mine expecially the grip panels, mine is also missing the lanyard ring.
