Australian Victory Model.....

[LOBO]

Nice looking FTR. The smooth service grips would really top it off though. Just for fun, this is my favorite FTR Victory. The pamphlet came with it.

That really looks great!! I especially like the pamphlet

Attached are a few photos of my Australian FTR Victory Model. All the markings appear to be the same as those of the gun shown earlier, with the exception of the large "F" stamped into the wood at the butt. The earlier gun had an "X". I can't shed any light on the meaning of this, but would love to know more!

The only thing I can see on yours Rute Boye and which you are no doubt aware of is the grips are not original to that gun. So again were probably replaced during the FTR at Lithgow in 1955, cannot shed any light on that F stamp though.

Rute Boye, I thought mine was great looking unil I saw the pictures of yours. What a fine example. Beautiful revolver. I think matching grip numbers are very rare, but I'm no expert, just an admirer.
