Thanks for the information you supplied for the Victory Database. Every bit helps to improve the scope and accuracy of the Database.

The WB marking on the bottom of the grip frame indicates that your revolver was "accepted" by the Ordnance Department. The WB letters are the initials of Col. Waldemar Broberg, who served as the Inspector of Ordnance for the District in which the S&W factory was located.

On your 4 inch .38 Special Victory can you please tell me if there are any markings on the left top strap? My crummy monitor here does not give me the necessary clarity to see if there are any markings there. On your 5 inch gun are there any markings on the top strap? Where is the Canadian Broad Arrow C property marking located on the gun?
