Default Another bit of data

V Model Ser. # V 274516 Frame and cylinder numbers match. The barrel is marked US S. W. Special Ctg and the top strap is marked US PROPERTY GHD. The grips are not numbered and the lanyard ring looks like a replacement. Pretty much standard stuff. My Dad died in 1970 and my sister had the gun until recently and swears he told her he carried the revolver in the Pacific in WWII. He was in the Phillipines and on Guadacanal and Leyte. I doubt her story because when I was growing up I don't remember seeing it. I left home in 1963.
