I have never paid much attention to Victory models but had an opportunity today. Some questions about this one concern me. Serial number is V1500XX, 5" "United States Property" marked.
Finish is blackish in color but in some places where it is worn there appears to be a grayish green showing. Does this indicate a refinish?
Sideplate screws appear to be polished blue/black.(unmolested) Were these used in early production?
Plain stocks appear like someone tried to make them rought and grainy. Not original?
Numbers match(barrel, frame & cylinder) but lock-up is not very tight.
Without picures, is this worth $250-$275?
Thanks for your help.
Bob
