Mystery marking on Victory revolver

[Anzac15]

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?

[AFJon]

Not the victory models what were used by US personnel.

The Victory model Smith and Wesson

Just the commonwealth versions. The US model was 38 Spl...

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.
