so sexy it hurts |
I don't even remember when I got these. I believe they were given to me. I know very little about revolvers, especially anything made before 1970. Can you tell me the specific model, approx date of mfg, possibly rare or common? First is a 22lr S&W I found. I think it's an early K22?        "You have the right not to be killed..."

Third is this gun. Pretty sure it's a model 1917 S&W Army as it says on the butt. Was this gun originally blued? It looks painted.       "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

agony, I honestly don't know what it is but with Firefox 78.0.2 running under Windows 10, this is what I see. If i click "view image" it takes me to fototime where I can see your picture. But damn, for the number of pictures you need us to look at that's a lot of work. Wish I knew why they don't show plainly in your posts....

I couldn't see them either, run Firefox too, along with a pretty strong ad-blocker. They come up using Microsoft Edge browser. Nice revos. The fellas at S&W forum could i.d. them in a minute if nobody here happens along. <>< America, Land of the Free - because of the Brave | |||

Pictures show up fine on my android phone. Wish I knew enough about the guns to offer some input, but I will say those are some sweet old revolvers! | |||

Pics showed up fine here. The S&W 1917 shows up as a 1918 build. The military models were a dull blued finish.
http://oldguns.net/sn_php/milmods.htm Edit: With my limited knowledge of wheelguns, I'd put the .22 at about the 40-50's, from the case hardened hammer and trigger, non-mushroom ejector, medallion grips. Much earlier would have a mushroom, later would have different grips like magnas. Maybe back to the 30's? What is marked under the crane? | |||

Your .22 appears to be a First Model K-22 Outdoorsman. Made 1931-1940 with yours being closer to the mid-1930's if I'm reading the SCSW correctly. Collectable and definitely has some value. Not super common, at least in my area. You might post some more pictures after a good wipe down, I'm trying to decide if has had a reblue. I agree that your M1917 was painted. Not uncommon, but the paint job does not help the price. Might be OK under the paint but who knows? Buddy bought a K-Frame that had been done similarly and it was nice under the paint. | |||

Found this about the Colt. https://www.oldcolt.com/collec...aliber%3A%20.32%2F20 Predecessor of the Official Police; by the serial numbers your's could be an early one. (ETA: double check your photo of the serial number on the grip frame. Just noticed you have an image of wooden grips, not rubber, and what appears to be a brass trigger guard). Colt Army Special is the model. | |||

agony, After looking at the pictures (now seen after taking hints from those here...I disabled Privacy Badger for this site), I'm unable to be of any help. No doubt others here will provide you with what you need.  Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

Ugh, yes you're right...that serial # was from a totally different gun. I'll get a better pic later. Thanks for the info! EDIT: I did look, and there's no serial # on the bottom of the grip. Perhaps this is the #? I found it under the crane:  "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

THanks for the link, very helpful. The barrel on the 1917 is indeed marked US Property:  Under the crane of the 22 I found this:  "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

And this is under the crane of the Colt 32-20: And found this under the crane of the SW 1917: "You have the right not to be killed..." The Clash, "Know Your Rights" | |||

I am of no help here. However, I want to thank you for posting the pics. For me, those represent another time, a time when pride was taken in the building of firearms. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||

That would be the serial number for the Colt. According to this site, I'd say it was made in 1913. You can click onto the models for data. http://proofhouse.com/colt/ | |||

The .22, M1Grandy got it right. Outdoorsman, 5 screw, one liner, first version. Your crane numbers are assembly numbers. Check your stocks for matching S/N. The first versions are collectible. The second versions are the most rare , only made in 1940-42. They had high 600,000 s/n. The third version (1946) got a barrel rib and s/n's started with the letter "K". In 1948 "made in usa" (one liner) changed to four line script. Nice find , shine it up. | |||
