I realize now I have a Australian issued pistol that went through a FTR in 54 also in 38/200. Got a import mark Vega SAC.
My question is how did I do? Are Aussie guns any different than British guns. Which is the more desirable?
Also this gun does not have the V on the bottom. I have tried to find the serial number using the Standard Cat. to get a date on it.
The serial number is 887174. The grips do not match.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to my database, your pistol most likely shipped December 1941, but possibly the following month, depending on which shipment it was in. Nice looking piece, you did well! Don't be afraid to shoot it, they are great shooters, especially in that caliberl
