Good folks, I just picked up a 1917 45acp that according to the serial number was made in Oct 1918, it is in about 85 to 90 percent condition with no pitting and most of the original bluing. It locks up tight and the rifling is near perfect. I plan to shoot and enjoy this revolver, is there any ammo to avoid? I am assuming this is decent metallurgy and can be safely shot. Also the oft asked question, what is the value assuming the 85 to 90 percent i mentioned? I have no intention to sell but it would be nice to know the value before I go slinging lead through it at the range. I cant seem to post pictures here or I would.
