not to get to technical , and as it is a M1917 at its roots the brazillian contract was a model 1934 , it is truely everything the M1917 was with the addition of that beautiful crest

Not to be even more technical, but the Brazilian contract was the S&W Model 1937, not '34
Anyway, the Brazilian contract pistols occasionally will have USGI proofed parts, as S&W was notorious for using whatever they had on hand to build them, including NOS Model 1917 parts.
Here's my '37 and my '17

The SW sure is pretty with the bluing unlike the Colt parking. I had to pass on a mint SW 1917 with near perfect bluing. It was either that or fuel oil.
