IN 97% VERY CRISP CONDITION, WE HAVE A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER US NAVY MARKED AND ISSUED SMITH & WESSON VICTORY MODEL REVOLVER IN 38 SPECIAL CALIBER WITHTHE ORIGINAL USN BOYT 43 SHOULDER HOLSTER. THIS RIG WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN WORN BY A TBM PILOT AND THIS IS PROBABLY TRUE AS IT IS RIGGER MODIFIED TO CARRY EXTRA ROUNDS AS MOST NAVY PILOTS DID. THE REVOLVER HAS A MINT BORE AND HAS NOT SEEN MUCH USE. NAVY VICTORIES ARE VERY GOOD INVESTMENTS AND HAVE BEEN CLIMBING FAST IN VALUE. THEY ARE HARD TO FIND AND WE NEVER GET THEM THIS CRISP. THIS IS THE MOST WIDLEY ISSUED SIDE ARM TO THE NAVY IN WW2; JFK HAD ONE ON THE PT109 AND G H W BUSH HAD ONE AS WELL. IT IS ONE OF THE ICONIC SYMBOLS OF US NAVY CARRIER AIR CREW, EVERYBODY CARRIED ONE. THESE DO NOT HANG AROUND FOR LONG THIS NICE.
