Thanks Mike
I wish it was an Australian contract Victory (I think there was 8000 of them) but it isn't. It is a pre Victory M & P which is still collectable I guess. I assume it was sent over for the British/Australian forces as it is a 5" 38-200...only a letter will prove that I guess. The serial is 788XXX so again I am guessing around the 1940 mark.
Here in Australia any old Smith is a rarity...even though these were made in huge numbers there are not many around.
Here is a pic...I had another thread about it a while ago. You will see the rust issues in the pics.
Cheers
