About Real Smith & Wesson M1917 .455 Hand Ejector Second Model Five Screw revolver

The Smith & Wesson M1917 .455 Hand Ejector Second Model Five Screw revolver, with a 6.5-inch barrel, was developed during World War I for the British Army. Based on the robust N-frame, it was chambered in the .455 Webley cartridge, known for its stopping power, and featured a simplified design compared to the First Model by removing the ejector rod shroud. Its "Five Screw" construction ensured durability, while the 6.5-inch barrel provided accuracy for military use.
This revolver was part of a British effort to address shortages of standard-issue sidearms like the Webley. Smith & Wesson produced these revolvers to use the .455 Webley round, meeting British military needs. The "custom" designation likely refers to post-manufacture modifications, such as enhanced grips, upgraded sights, or altered finishes, done either by the Army or civilian owners.
The M1917 .455 Hand Ejector became a reliable wartime solution and is now a prized collector's item, representing the collaboration between American manufacturers and the British military during World War I. Its durability, historical significance, and connection to the war make it an important piece of firearm history.
