Can across this photos when going through some old files. This gun is not mine. Never seen it in person. Downloaded from the net. I thought it was cool looking. Just wanted to share them with you guys. Enjoy
That was my thought as well. An m1917. At one time they were dirt cheap. Whoever did the work did a great job. The only nonstandard marking besides the engraving is the name Melvin in the top of the T grip.

A no holds barred surplus conversion. Done a long time ago to have King sights.
I wouldn't have shortened the barrel so much but otherwise it is a jewel.

Yeah, DW King’s San Francisco shop closed after he died in 1945. My 1930’s vintage Colt Officers Model Heavy Barrel was modified by DW King. It has a widened hammer spur rather than the distinctive “cockeyed” spur, and the front sight doesn’t have the mirrored insert, but the rest is all King.
