The seller listed the modifications but I went for it anyway. Post WWI barrel and a 45 ACP cylinder. Another revolver shooter in 45 ACP.

I guess someone had a .44 and wanted a .45. Frame is from the 1920's. What's the serial numbers under the barrel and on the face of the cylinder?

No numbers on the replaced barrel and cylinder. Serial number is mid to late 20s but no address on the frame says made in 1922 at the latest.

Logo on left side was restarted in 1921~. So, maybe '21 or early '22. I have a lower numbered 2nd, 21772 with Made in USA, that shipped in July 1924. Sideplate looks swaged to the frame, but it could be from a later gun and well fitted. Have you checked the assembly numbers on it against the frame? IIRC, the large logo didn't come out until 1936? Lots of questions about your gun.

The only Assy number is 2743 on the yoke, and as I revisited the pictures, #3 is of my M1917, 1, 2 and 4 the 2nd Model HE.

I got the side plate off and the same assembly number is on it, 2743.

Is there a star stamped at the serial number on the butt or on the butt frame? Is there a date like 7.51 on the left side toe of the grip frame?

 

[Murdock23]

No star and nothing stamped on the left side of the grip frame.

Is there a star stamped at the serial number on the butt or on the butt frame?

What does that mean?

 

[Wiregrassguy]

A star means S&W service department worked on the gun.
