I'm surprised that someone has not mentioned this yet. Your Victory model is based on the Smith and Wesson mid-sized K frame. The Victory model was the war time version the Military and Police revolver. As I understand it most of these revolvers were issued to both government and private security officers working at defense plants.
Yours should be safe to shoot with standard 38 special ammo. So feel free to shoot it from time to time, and think of Gramps when you do.
