Any info about this .38 revolver is appreaciated, my Dad bought it in 1964 and left it to me when he died. I do not know how to attach pictures to this forum but will send BC to anyone that can give more info, ie, date manf., model, ammo safe to shoot in it. The 2 1/2" barrel and ejector rod are seperated, on butt has a V at front end and serial number 5181xx at rear end, looks like a filled in hole between the V and serial number where a lanyard may have been. Thanks for any help

Thanks I'll give it a try.

chockicker, if it looks like this, like waistgunner said it's a cutdown Victory model
this is v4592xx it was shipped in Nov. 1943
thats as close as I can get to the age of your gun
Mine is a .38 S&W not to be confused with .38 special
