S&W pre-Victory?
6" barrel S&W revolver. At least related to Victory models.
Researching for my daughter-in-law's grandmother whose husband was a WWII and Korean War vet. They married in England during the war. He had collected 82 firearms of all descriptions and I am trying to catalog them.
Butt, inside right grip, barrel under extractor rod numbered: 730085.
Cylinder marked: V 164800 S.
Inside extractor star: 164800.
Canadian proof mark on butt; Upward arrow in side 'C'. Followed by 'P'.
Barrel right side: '38/380' stamped crudely, and '38 S.&W. CTG'.
Frame grip, right inside: Marks 'D' and 'B' plus 'OC' or 'CQ' or 'OO' overstruck, or links of chain?
Crane and number just below the crane recess are both: '65670'.
Cylinder parkerized, frame nicely blued. On right side: S&W trademark/logo + 'Made in USA' .
Checkered grips with apparently correct nickel S&W medallions.
I have many macro-focused pictures (large). I'll include two reduced in size here and more if useful. The inside grip marks are the ones I know least about.
