Item Description: All,

Another WWII Revolver for sale... Mint Specimen...
Smith and Wesson Victory model .38 Special
Serial # V 602,xxx

I bought this over 30 years ago from a former Navy TBD rear gunner that flew in WWII... he brought it home with him...said he never fired it... didn't think anything about getting provenance back in those days... Still in awe of what they did...

Interestingly only one grip is serial numbered to the pistol...

This is truly a mint specimen, just having light turn marks on the cylinder...
I also have the correct WWII shoulder holster for this revolver, never had a revolver in it... can make a package deal if you want it...
Thanks to ODT and thanks for looking...
