Smith & Wesson "Victory Model"

[Mikesm44]

Hello. This is a revolver I have wanted for a long time and I finally got one today. I have always liked the No2Mk1 revolver and the Webley Mark IV and I have a few, but this is my first S&W Victory Model. It shows a lot of wear and the numbers are not matching but it does have one serial with the "V" and it seems to be perfect mechanically. I have it pictured with my "Hand Eject" model that was shipped in 1919.

Looks good. I've had a few and they were everything for mint to just about worn out. Yours look great.

Thank you very much. They certainly aren't "mint", but I do not mind at all.

No need to apologize. 1911 holsters are always interesting.

I'm guessing it's still in .38 S&W ( .38/200 ) ? Does it have the barrel counterbored by the Brits ?
Nice old one with history.

Yes, .38 S&W. The barrel is not counterbored, but it is a replacement barrel. You can see the oversized pin holding it in and it also has proof marks on the barrel but not the frame.

You noted that your S&W had been rebarreled, so the serial number shown would be from the revolver the barrel was originally on. What is the serial number on the butt of your revolver?
