I have two BPD marked Victories, both letter to the Maritime Commission but was told by the person who got them from the BPD armorer many years ago when they were disposing of them that they had been acquired by BPD and hand stamped. I can believe that because they slightly bent the backstrap when stamping them with BPD and a rack number.
No other provenance than that.
