I have found a Victory model .38 spl at a pawn shop...to be truthful it has been there 6 months as I have watched the price drop from $600 to $488 plus tax. Today when I was in there I mentioned how long it has been there and the owner offered it for $400 plus tax..$428. Good or OK price?
Its in very nice condition S/N V146xxx. Black magic is not very dark like on some Victory models. All numbers match on cylinder, barrel flat, ejector and butt. There are no military markings in top strap or anywhere else so I figure it might have been a contractors gun issued by Govt during WWII. No import marks so it was never a British gun. Anyways I didn't have the cash with me and since it has been there so long saw no reason to run to the bank. Is this now a good price? Based on SCSW it looks like it was fairly early on in the
war that this was in service.
Is there anything else I should be wary of?
it looks like a clean Victory to me.
