So I purchased this Victory today for $250. I did a complete disassembly and cleaning. It is tight and shows no wear. The finish has faded, I understand that is quite common. It has not been modified in any way, still a .38 S&W. I show below the NP, BV and SP flaming bomb marks. It also has a mark, crossed scepters with an E left and S right and a 1 below. I have no idea what SP or the crossed scepters mean. All numbers match except the grips which have an earlier 5 digit serial. I can tell that it had a large set of grips on it at one time as the finish is darker in that area. SN: V755218 Still a nice gun even with the poor finish. If you have any more info I will appreciate your response.
I just figured out that the sideplate has the hammer block on it and I did not know what it was. There is no "S" on the butt. Does that add up to the sn's for the hammer block change?
