Default Three more for the Victory Data Base

I’m new to the forum (posted this here in the wrong section to start) and finally got it over where it should be in the Victory section for the database which I’ve found very helpful.

The first two are marked: “38 S&W Special CTG” right side of the bbl; the 3rd is marked "38 S&W CTG" and all have “Made in U.S.A.” on right frame.

1st Victory Revolver has a 4-inch bbl in the five number serial range, (V 78137) with “U.S. Navy” on Top Strap and red paint “Property of United States Navy” mark on frame. Has checkered grips.

2nd Victory Revolver has a 4-inch bbl (V 315351) has faint “BNP” markings and is marked “ENGLAND” on cylinder. No top strap markings and no S&W logo on right frame. Lanyard lug filled and it has a small "P" marking on butt. In blued finish, which looks to have been applied after lanyard hole was plugged. Revolver shows even wear. Looks to be replacement S&W grips.

3rd Victory Revolver has a 5-inch bbl (V 528312) has faint “U.S. Property” and “G.H.D.” on Top Strap. The right side of bbl after “Smith & Wesson” there is a “BNP” mark with a crown above, then “.38 -767” to the right and below, the “3 1/2 TONS” mark. “BNP” crown marks show behind each cylinder groove all the way around. Just behind the trigger on left frame is a small mark of downward facing crossed swords with an “I” to the left, a “B” to the right and the numeral “2” below. On the right frame above the frame screw over the grip is the number “53” and below is “FTR”.

Any information would be appreciated, date ranges, etc. Pics on the thread with the same name in the proper category. THANKS FOR EVERYBODY'S PATIENCE WITH THE NEW GUY!

You're likely to get more responses if you re-post this in the Hand Ejectors: 1896-1961 Forum. That's were the Victory collectors hang out. No Victories made from 1980 to the Present.
