Came with some #4 Enfield rifle and gear I picked up a few weeks ago. All matching never FTR'ed. may be as early as 1940.

I suppose you'll also tell us of some crazy low price you paid for it to make us even more envious:rolleyes: Beautiful piece!

[MJ]

That is a NICE revolver. You do realize that most of us now hate you, right? ;)

Yes, ya' dirty rat... :evil:

However if you post the serial number on the butt (including any letters) we might tell you more about it. :)

The "United States Property" marking on the topstrap started in May, 1943 at approximate serial number V 300,000. :scrutiny:

One of my local dealers has a 5" Victory Model in almost the same condition, but with Brit proof marks. He is asking $400.

OH.... (sob) :what:

During the 1950's I could have bought all I wanted - as new - for $15.00. :( :neener:

And then passed them on to me in your will when you kick the bucket!

:neener: back at ya!

The WHP issued victory models.. When they upgraded to Model 66's we could buy the vic's for $50.00. I bought three and traded or sold them off in a matter of month's

My knees still hurt from trying to kick myself in the butt for all these years!!!:(

That revolver is probably not 1940, probably 1942-1945 especially if s/n begins with a V. Victories in 38 S&W were not only sold to the Brits, but were used by the USA as well, even post -war.

957### W P then Ord stamp

Late 1941 to very early 1942. As Old Fuff pointed out (and I had forgotten) in another thread, this would seem to be a .38/200 British Service Revolver (a pre-Model 11) which was part of the .38 Military & Police Model 1905 4th Change series but chambered for the .38 S&W cartridge for the Brits.

Frosty, is that the one at Four Seasons?

Frosty, is that the one at Four Seasons?

No, he's much closer to me. But I'm not going to say who until I make a final decision about it.

If these are the stamps on the butt, it should be WB, for Waldemar Broberg, ordnance inspector prior to Guy Drewry.

Very nice M&P.
