That's for sure spending $1000 to make a $500 gun.
The V in the serial number making it victory model would have originally been a 38 frame?
I don't know what all the markings on the cylinder are.
The more I inspect the gun the more issues I find.
The trigger guard appeared to been broken at one time and brazzed back together.
This came from an auction of a deceased gunsmith. Before his wife could let his things go there house and shop flooded.
There was quite a few unique guns for sale. Most of the rifles had been rebarreled to different calibers.
There were a few other smiths there also.
Model 46 22 semi auto
Model 30-1 32 S&W Long
Model 25
Model ? In 45 colt
And a few more.
I did think the guns went for decent prices.
