SOLD LATE PRODUCTION VICTORY MODEL 38 SPECIAL WITH HAMMER BLOCK

IN 98% ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A LATE PRODUCTION SMITH AND WESSON VICTORY MODEL REVOVLER IN 38 SPECIAL. THIS REVOLVER IS GHD INSPECTED AND US PROPERTY MARKED AND WAS SHIPPED TO THE US NAVY IN JANUARY 1945. THE UNSUAL FEATURES OF THIS PISTOL ARE THE S V MARKING ON THE BUTT, THE S MARK ON THE RIGHT FRAME AND THE P PROOF MARKS ON THE FRAME CYLINDER AND BARREL. THIS GUN WAS LIKELY ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE WHEN THE HAMMER BLOCK SAFETY WAS INTRODUCED. THESE LATE NAVY VICTORIES WITH THE LATE STYLE MAKRINGS ARE VERY TOUGH TO LOCATE. THE GUN IS ALL MATCHING EVEN THE GRIPS ARE MATCHING. THE GUN APPEARS TO NEVER HAVE BEEN HARDLY FIRED. THESE REVOVLERS ARE STILL VERY USEFUL PISTOLS AND ARE QUITE POPULAR AMONGST COLLECTORS. THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDER VARIANTS TO LOCATE.
