Default Help! Need photos of Victory Model revolvers in service

Does anyone have photos of Commonwealth soldiers and/or police armed with S&W .380 Victory Model revolvers?
I could also use photos of .380 Webley and Enfield revolvers. If you do please contact me or post them here.

Many thanks.

There are a few photos of .38/200 Victory Models in Pate's book, U.S. Handguns of World War II. Hope this is helpful.

I don't need photos of the revolver, but of soldiers or police armed with them.

Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but here's a picture I posted in a thread here to go w/ my Victory, of my grandfather, with his Victory in a holster (can't see the revolver, but it's there).



I can dig up another one if you'd like - showing him on the Harley and the butt of the revolver, w/ lanyard affixed, visible.

yes, please do! I didn't know the Brits used any Harleys during the war?

Many thanks.

Here's the other photo I mentioned. Not as clear a photo as the first one, but you can see the butt of the revolver. It looks like a pre-Victory, with the chequered stocks. My Victory model is pre-"V" prefix, but just enough later to have the plain stocks.



I've also just completed assembling a Canadian Pattern 37 web belt, holster and ammunition pouch to match the configuration he's wearing. Just need the Harley now. ;-)

He unfortunately passed on when I was quite young, so didn't get a chance to ask him about his experiences.
