They aren't the guns meant here, but the USAF had a number of .38 Special Victory Models nickeled and given fake stag stocks for use by the SAC Elite Guard Air Police.


These were worn crossdraw on fancy gun belts with a wide chrome buckle. Those guys also got the blue beret long before the rest of us AF cops did.


Many more Victories served in original form until enough Combat Masterpieces were in service.


I presume that these USAF modified guns had better workmanship than the pawn shop specials in this thread.
