Rob, JD and everyone else, it appears I misspoke and I apologize. Rob, after reading your last post about when the Mod 17 was stamped on the revolvers I had to go check mine and see what I actually had and if the date of manufacture I was told, 1947, was or was not incorrect. My revolver is not stamped Mod. 17, just a K 71XX on the barrel beneath the extractor rod and a KO 278XX on the frame behind the crane. As the numbers aren't matching does that mean this revolver has possibly been rebarrelled? I'm not at all familiar with S & W's numbering.
