Howdy Again
Finally getting back to this thread with what should be my last installment, 45 Caliber blue Smith and Wessons.
First we'll jump into the way-back machine and set it for 1875.
A couple of 1st Model Schofields that both shipped in 1875. This one went back to the factory in 1957 for a refinish job.

I actually like this one better. Hardly any blue left on it, and most of the colors of the Case Hardening are gone too. But the patent marking under the barrel is more legible than on the other one, which was over polished a little bit.

Now we'll jump forward to 1917. I found this Model 1917 a few years ago in a local shop. It came with the almost full box of ammo pictured here. The grips are incorrect, but I like them because they have some nice figure.

No hammer block inside this one.

I love the serrated hammer.

The GI 1917 at the top and a Brazilian Contract 1917 at the bottom. The Brazilian is a little bit banged up because a lot of the time there was not much care taken in shipping them back to the US.

A Model 1955 Target that shipped in 1955. 45ACP. The grips are a bit unusual. They look to be to be rosewood, and they are uncheckered.

OK, that does it, for my blued S&W revolvers, unless I remember another one.
