Not for me. Lightly fired , yes. Unfired - No.
Top and forward side plate screws look like the finish was marred while tightening.
The grain of the grips is not familiar to me - someone more knowledgable please comment on that.(the grips , not me...)

Yeah they appear a bit off to me too, especially the left side stock, but with so many examples being built for the war effort it's hard to tell what they might have decided to use. (They also looked a tiny bit proud of the grip frame to me in places, hence my curiosity as to their originality at the price it sold for. Unfortunately the left side stocks were not serialized by the factory, as just the right side stocks were stamped.)
Here's a U.S. Navy marked Victory example of mine with very nice stocks that are serial number matching to the revolver. Look at how they precisely they fit with no proudness or gaps with regards to the frame.
