I've been looking around a bit for a Victory model in .38 special. In these parts they are kind of hard to come by and my local gun shops didnt have any until a few weeks ago when one turned up. It has what looks like it could be an 8 or B in front of U. S. Property and then the letters GHD. Serial number is V359900. The story i got from the gun shop was (consignment piece) Little old lady comes in to get rid of it. She was an army nurse in WWII, her boyfriend at the time, was a USMC pilot. He dressed up the gun by removing the lanyard ring, and putting a pair of imitation stag grips on it for her to dress it up. I don't know if that is true, but the gun hasn't been fired much, there is a little bit of drag marks on the cylinder latch notches, but bore is nice and action is tight. 4" barrel, pretty good parkerized finish with no surface rust at all. And the best part was that it is in .38 special
