Indeed. So let's close with a few notes on Oswald's 2" Victory.
For a modified BSR, his V510210 was actually a bit uncommon.
Ordered by Oswald from Seaport Traders in L.A., it had its barrel shortened, the cylinder converted, and the swivel hole plugged, but retained its original finish and came with correct, although not matching, smooth walnut stocks. The stocks came off V74149. It also had CAL 38 SPECIAL stamped on the left frame. This has been observed occasionally, but so rarely that it may have been the practice of only one specific importer/converter.
Just for the fun of it, I've been looking for one in that specific configuration for quite some years, unsuccessfully so far among the masses of refinished Franzite-gripped chop-jobs
