New to me Victory model ... Serial # V-5978xx
pretty sure these are not the original grips...
Bore and chambers are perfect as are timing and lockup... the U.S. Property stamp is a little weak as is the S&W Logo on the side plate and there is some minor pitting in a few places... I got it for what I think is a pretty good price. There was a letter from S&W from 2002 stating that the gun was sold in May of 1944... I don't believe that this gun was shot a lot at all, but appears to have been carried a good bit after the war by whoever put the magna grips on it.... Is the weak "US Property" stamp common at all???
Thanks in advance
