I have issues with the ID of those revolvers. First, K frames with silver medallion stocks suggests 1930s. Second, I can swear those are 6 1/2" guns and doubt that many were issued with the Victory model which had 2" & 4" barrels. Lastly, the caption states 1944 as the date of the picture, which should have all been smooth walnut by then. If they were commercial guns, I would think that they would have had Magnas?

154,720 should not be a 5 3/4" barrel if it is original?? S&W K frames from that era were made in 4", 5", 6", and 6 1/2. Was the gun a special order?? I see you must have gotten a factory letter, did the letter state 5 3/4" barrel length?
