Without pics it didn't really happen! 
BUT, it sounds like it might be a guard gun. Built at the same time, it just didn't go to war!

Hey! A Victory that hasn't been butchered, pimped or both! Very nice.

CSM:
There are a lot of Victory fans on this Forum, me included, so we always enjoy seeing another nice condition example. Congrats on your find.
Your revolver is likely a gun that was shipped under DSC authorization. Are there also P-proofs on the cylinder face and the barrel flat?

Ordnanceguy,
There ar P proofs on the cylinder face and on the barrel flat. And all the serial numbers match too.

DSC guns are fun to letter, they went to all sorts of interesting places.

Just because a gun doesn't have US Navy markings doesn't mean it didn't see military use. I'm almost sure that not all of the Victory Models I saw in the USAF before there were enough M-15's to replace them had Navy markings. We got a lot of Victories from the swabs, but some may have come from other sources. Still, I wouldn't bat an eye if told that the Navy used some guns without Navy markings.

TS, you are correct on this, I have a couple of lettered Navy guns that have no Navy markings. I suspect that there are a lot more Navy guns that are unmarked than marked ones.
