Got My Letter on Victory 2" Model

[Vettepartz]

About 4 months ago I posted here saying that I had located (and now purchased) a Victory model with a 2" barrel. I got a lot of good response and I sent for a letter of Authenticity. Well I got the letter, and have attached it here. Mr Jinks was also kind enough to send a copy of the shipping record which has 200 consecutive Victory models by serial numbers, and mine was the only one sent to J.A. Jones. My gun has had a few changes since then, but at least I know it was an original 2" barrel according to S&W.

May we see the gun in question? The letter is such a great addition to any firearm!


Thanks

Excellent, congrats on your verification. Mr. Jinks does a great job and it's really nice to get his authentication.

It was a pleasure doing the research on this! Glad it worked out in your favor.

Hi John:

Thanks for posting your updated letter. It is nice to see confirmation that your Victory originally shipped with a 2 inch barrel, as we discussed in the thread from several months ago. A genuine 2 incher is an extremely rare gun. For others who might be interested here is a link to that earlier discussion:
