Just something to keep in mind regarding condition on these victories ( or most any military issue pistol and to some degree can be applied to most older police guns as well) I can tell you from my military experience guns get exterior wear out of proportion to the few rounds they fire. For example our m9's I carried in Afghanistan and Iraq typically each soldier shot at most 50 rounds in familiarization and a 40 shot qualification and nothing else for the remainder of the deployment unless drawn in anger, which I can think of only a handful of times during two years a pistol was fired. But at the same time they were a constant companion sliding around in holsters on dusty trails and in sandstorms. By the end of my first tour my initially "new" looking beretta could be mistaken for having left the factory as stainless.
Rough outside mint inside is about typical for a military pistol
