[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3748539, member: 48072"] The nickel finish would be a flag for concern for me. It is possible that it could be original, but more likely a refinish. Some 1917s were sold to the public, and some were assembled with surplus parts after the war and then sold to the public...those may have military markings or lanyard rings, or not. Wikipedia is your friend here...not because it is full of correct information, but because they have a list of references at the bottom where you can go to do your own research. Best of luck.
