I have here a much-used, worn, Model 1917 in .32 ACP that would make a great project for someone who knows and loves these iconic handguns. Serial dates it to 1920. The slide rattles at the rear of the rails. Someone swapped the front sight for a blob of weld. The magazine is poorly cobbled from some other magazine and needs replacing. The original grips are cracked. There is something in the trigger linkage that causes the slide to retract a few millimeters upon pulling it, which takes the action out of battery and prevents the hammer from falling on the striker. I did get it to fire one time and ejection was vigorous.
On the plus side, all the parts seem to be there save for the magazine issue and the bore still shows rifling. For the Savage enthusiast, it is very likely restorable -- on top of being one of the coolest handgun designs of the Art Deco period. And oddly, barrels and slides are available on eBay. Asking $200 shipped to your FFL or your C&R license from another C&R licensee.
