I went to my favorite gun monger today and saw this S&W "Victory Model" Military & Police. The outside shows a lot of character but after I cleaned it up it looks very good inside. The bore is in excellent shape.
The inside of the action was filthy. I think I may have been the first person to clean in it a few decades.
It cleaned up well with some brake cleaner and Hoppe's No.9, though.
Unmarked topstrap:
And on the bottom of the grip, the serial number beginning with a "V" and the US Ordnance mark:
It should be a nice shooter. I'll mostly be shooting .38 148 grain wadcutters, but I might pack it on occasion with full power loads.
