Hi Scott:

Thanks for posting the pics. From the Database I can estimate for your friend that his Navy Victory likely shipped from the factory in the January, 1943 time frame.

The electropenciled number is a puzzler. I suspect it is a number that was added after the gun left military service as it is atypical for Navy small arms of WW2.

HTH.
