Thanks for the additional info. That makes it much easier to help you.

Your revolver was likely shipped from the S&W factory in August, 1943 time frame. From the markings you provided it is evident that your Victory served with the Australian military, as it bears the FTR rebuild markings that are so often seen on the Aussie guns. Most of the Aussie guns seen here today underwent a rebuild process in the 1950s.

You have a nice, historical piece there. Enjoy it.
