I have the original S&W warranty card (a 1955 form), box, and paper work. I'll post a photo of it later. Based on what I was told, and the excellent condition of the Victory now, it probably appeared as if it were new, even if it wasn't. My friend is relying on a 66 year old memory, but he's still sharp as a tack. I talked to him about it last Thursday and he said that it was sold as new and that the store had a number of 'the same Model 10s' to choose from. I don't think we'll ever know for sure.
