Default WTS: Lend Lease Victory

I just bought a pristine Lend Lease Victory so I decided to sell my shooter. More knowledgeable guys help me out if I make a mistake in my description.

It is a 5" Brit 38 S&W and has test stamps on the right side barrel. However it doesn't have the US Property GHD on the left topstrap and doesn't appear to be milled or ground, as both topstrap sides are identical in appearance. It has crown stamps on each cylinder and the frame.It has an FTR stamp on the right sideplate and seems somewhat polished. The numbers all match except the grips, which are Victory grips but number to a different gun. There are a few places on the right side of the barrel that have light pits. It appears more cosmetic as it isn't detectable by feel. The bore is bright and shiny as are the cylinders. There is no endshake. It shoots very well. It will have to go to an FFL or C&R. I will try to answer any questions. First "I'll take it" posted. I would like to get $ -225- $200 and some shipping to the conus.

Great question. The cylinder has not been reamed. It chambers a 38S&W round fine but will not chamber a 38 special round at all.
