Hi Mike
The Revolver was made for Brazil in 1937 by S&W and is a copy of the M1917 only differance is the markings.
Cheers

ok , im familiar with the brazilian contract , those are beautiful revolvers , i like the crest , if i were inclined to expand my accumulation id like the south american crests in the racks - they are very decorative

mikey , is your colt shouldered to headspace the 45acp ? or does it depend on the moon clips ?
the reason i ask is the early colts were not and the cylinder chambers on the later were , the S&W were from start to finish ,
these are fun to shoot - their size and weight offset the 45 cal comfortably making them very accurate for even the inept like me :D
