I have several Victory examples with the "S" stamped on the yoke, rear cylinder face, and grip frame, but not all of my Victory examples have the "S" stamped on them.
I have posted pics of an example with the "S" stamp on it's yoke, rear cylinder face, and both sides of it's lower grip frame. I can't help but feel that one of the "S" stamps on the grip frame is an actual inspector's initial, and the other is the service "S" stamp. On my other examples that have the "S" service stamp on the yoke and rear cylinder face, they also have the "S" on the right side lower grip frame.

Good call, now I see the double S. And I also have an S like yours on the frame under the right grip.
