I posted a message in Autoloaders about a 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 that came into my local dealer's shop today. The same man also brought in two older S&W revolvers in good shape.
The first is a .38 Military and Police Model 1905, Fourth Change. The serial number is 554,xxx which I estimate to be late 20's production. It has a 6" barrel, service rear sight (i.e., the square notch in the frame) but a custom front sight. It's ramped with a red insert. The trigger is a wide, serrated target trigger which is as wide as the trigger guard. It also has large (target?) S&W Diamond grips. My dealer thinks this is what was specified by one of the larger Massachusetts PDs.
The other is a 1955 Model K-22 Masterpiece, the pre-model 17. It seems to be stock and in very good shape also. It is a five-screw model with the large, smooth grips.
I have already claimed the former. Am thinking about the latter.
