Good morning,
Just joined to share some pictures and hopefully get some more info about my revolver. Seems like a very nice crowd here.
Anywho, my revolver has the serial number V617875.
Here's some details:
-Does not have original stocks, rather is wearing a set of 1950's faux stag grips.
-Has it's lanyard loop intact
-Barrel, cylinder, and frame all have matching serial numbers and are all stamped with a "V" and a "P"
-Barrel is stamped ".38 s.&w. special ctg"
-gun is chambered in .38 special.
-chambers and barrel have been safety checked by a gunsmith and look to be in near perfect condition. Safe to fire/use and all that.
-hammer and trigger have a case hardened finish.
-Left topstrap markings have been removed. My friend said that he got it like that and wasn't aware of what it might have said.
As for known history, i bought it from a Sheriff buddy who had it for a long time, 20+ years. He got it from a relative apparently, who was also a cop. As far as i know it was purchased in the 50's, but i'm not sure if it was a duty gun or just a personal weapon.
Thanks in advance for any additional info. Cheers!
