If you do have a historical authenticity letter that establishes its original shipment from the factory during WWII and that it was shipped with a 2" barrel, then you do own something that is of great interest to S&W collectors. There are some pre-Victory 2" M&Ps that were manufactured prior to the war, some of which were shipped after the war, which are also desirable and collectible, but they do not have the value associated with the wartime Victory snubbies.
