I recently received a letter from Roy Jinks regarding the Victory revolver I found this past summer - and pictured below.

For those gentlemen maintaining the database on Victory Models - the revolver, serial # SV793339, was shipped, on a Navy contract. to the United States Navy, Oakland, CA on May 31, 1945 with midnight black finish, butt swivel, and smooth, walnut grips.

Regards,

Jerry

How is the top strap marked? U.S. Property or U.S. Navy?
