Hi folks after Reading so much information some points are now clear but I still have a doubt.
I bought a brazilian from the second batch (1946), round top frame , same serial number on bbl, cylinder and butt - 17067X . that puts its manufacture in 1919.
My question is: This 1946 contract to Brazil used entire guns made for the US Army bought back by S&W and refinished or just frames that were fitted with new cyliders and barrels from the factory stocks?
If it was made in 1919 was it around the factory all that time?
After all the war was over.
