6.) Finish--it smooth like a blued finish, but not as dark. Parkerized finishes that I've seen on other arms aren't as smooth as this. I think it may be the black magic oxide finish
Would it be worth getting a factory letter on this gun?

Welcome to the forum.
Without the topstrap marking, your Victory was shipped to a non-military destination like the Maritime Commission, a defense contractor, police department, etc., and a letter could tell you something interesting.
By that serial, V 146061, the original finish could only have been the standard Sandblast Black Magic with a comparatively rough surface texture, and any smooth finish with a surface that appears like a “normal” blued finish indicates a likely refinish.
