Need photos of S&W N-Frame revolvers in service
« on: February 03, 2015, 03:22:28 PM »
I'm trying to locate photos of S&W N-Frame revolvers in use by soldiers/police/civilians of any country from 1907 to 1945 for an article I am preparing. If you have any please contact me or post them here.

Many thanks!

Just a suggestion:  Look for Photographs of WW1 US Military Police.  1917s in both varieties were all they carried.
Civilize them with a Krag . . .

Hi,
If you want photos of original S&W 1917s, try Gunbroker.com. There's a number of originals for sale including some in original condition.  Maybe those sellers would allow you the use of their photos.  
There were also many 1917 S&Ws made and sent to Brazil for either police or military use (I don't recall now) around 1937; some have come back into this country now and one can find pics of those. (Also S&W did a re-issue of the 1917 a few years back in hommage, and there are lots of pics of those as well, out there.)

Sacramento: I'm looking for photos of the revolvers in SERVICE WITH SOLDIERS/POLICE, not the guns themselves.
