Without official military documents with regards to the exact revolver s/n and officer does this example fall into the "Buy the revolver and don't buy the story" category?

No disrespect towards the officer nor his family of course..........but over $1000 (after shipping charges) for a Victory without official military issue/ownership paperwork is a lot of cabbage. (Admittedly it is a decent looking example but not perfect due to marred screw holes, freckling, etc.........so did the letter from the daughter drive the above average selling price?)
