I was assigned as an OSI Agent to Osan AB, ROK in 1972/73. On base was a large salvage yard where all types of equipment went to die. The salvage yard was a target of sneak thieves (Slicky Boys) to steal anything they could. We staked it out several times to discourage their activities. I once found a 55 gallon steel barrel that was about 80% full of cut up S&W revolvers, partial frames, barrels, cylinders etc. IIRC all were fixed sights so probably M-10 or pre M-10. At the time I was unfamiliar with the Victory model but there where probably some in the barrel. I 'rescued' a cylinder that I used for a pencil holder for years. What a waste.
