Long story short my Father-in-law passed away and going through his belongings I was given his gun. It is a nickel ".38 S&W Regulation Police" with blue trigger and hammer. On the bottom of the handle, which does look original, is the inscription Pat. June 6,1917, so this looks to be one of the guns you folks are describing in this thread. The curious thing is a .38 round is too large, it simply will not fit. I triple checked with a magnigying glass, it is a .38, not a .32. Any thoughts?

I'm not an expert, but there's a decent condition Brazil Contract S&W available for about $300.<BR/><BR/>It appears to be a 1917 S&W in .45 ACP with a five inch barrel. My question is what exactly does the "Brazil Contract" have to do with anything; does it increase or decrease the value?<BR/><BR/>You can respond in comments, or just email me at admiralahab at gmail dot com.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958196376272238044noreply@blogger.com
