Mystery marking on Victory revolver
I've posted this one around, can't seem to get any answers regarding this marking on the butt of my S&W Victory. It's a triangle, may be a 1 inside it, maybe not. Is it familiar to anyone?

I've got the same marking on the end of the slide on a FN Model 1922, which also has WW2 Waffenamt inspectors marks.
Could it be linked to Post War Occupation weapons issued to the local police units

It is not a S&W marking for sure. Is the revolver a 38 Special or 38/200?

Could this be an Iraqi ownership marking guys?
I thought all Victory models were chambered in .38-200?

Lend lease to the Soviets? Looks similar to a mark I see on my Mosin Nagants, just a lot smaller.

The marking on your Nagants is more likely a variant of the 1930s-1960s Tula factory marking. Usually a star with an arrow, there was also a triangle with an arrow that, at that size, could appear to be a 1. Tula's mark changed over the years, my estimate can be a bit off.
