Victory with German markings and letter
This was in a lot of three guns I purchased at auction in order to get one of the others. I know nothing about these so have been trying to read all the postings here. Wow! Thanks for all the work! As the letter shows V482880 was shipped to the Navy Dec 30 1943 at Rosslyn VA. 4 inch barrel. It has German eagle proofs on the barrel, frame and cylinder. Also Heidelberg police markings on the backstrap and butt of one grip. Grips have matching serial number. No Navy markings? Have they been removed? Also WV on butt of frame. What does this mean? So the gun went to the Navy, then police service and finally retailed by Geco? Also came with this holster but not sure when this was added? Any info much appreciated.
