When my grandfather passed last month we came into possesion of some guns we know very little about. I was reading some of the earlier posted threads and it seems some of yall may be able to help me out. I'm currently looking at a Smith and Wesson .38 victory model (i know b/c it had a V before the serial number ) with a 5 inch barrel. it does say U.S. Property GHD on the top of the gun. On the right side of the barrel it says .38 S&W CTG (among other things but the rest is hard to read). Also, it does have the lanyard hole in the butt. I read on here that it may have been modified, upon returning to the states, to shoot a .38 special as well. How can I tell? How would I go about finding out specifics about this gun? Any help yall can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
