Traybo, Welcome to the Forum. You haven't given us much to go on, however I'll make a guess in the dark, so to speak, that you have a WW2 surplus Lend Lease S&W revolver that was probably shipped to the Brits. The Lend Lease guns were stamped "United States Property" on the top strap and were originally .38 S&W caliber, with5 in. barrels. Many of these were imported back to the US after WW2 by surplus gun dealers and the cylinders were bored out to accept .38 Special cartridges. Post the serial number of the gun and we can tell you when it was shipped. The serial number is on the butt and may have a "V" stamped in front of the number. The "V" is part of the serial number, and is the eason the gun was called the Victory Model. Ed.
