S&W .45 acp revolver mdl 1937

Post by ThePitbullofLove » Tue Aug 30, 2005 3:31 pm

While my dad was filling out paperwork on the C96 bolo, I spied this really nice S&W Model 1937 for a very reasonable price.

Condition is better than most, with a mirror bore, tight lockup, and nice blue.

$275 otd.

This baby is a "Brazilian contract" as you can see looking at the right side of the gun where is a Brazil crest. It's collector value is less than an US M1917 but this particular item worth every cent they want for it.

It will be also a great shooter.

They used to be very, and I mean VERY cheap.

Still less costly than a USGI 1917, but the price is creeping up, and they're a fairly tough find in this condition!
