SOLD - Excellent Smith & Wesson Victory Revolver Rig - US Navy (V3978 - 19406)

Description

3/16/22 - This is an excellent example of a Smith & Wesson Victory Revolver issued to the US Navy during WW2. The gun is all matching and has the proper "US Navy" marking on the top strap. The cylinder is tight and the action is very smooth. The gun comes as a rig with a nice 1943-dated leather shoulder holster, a leather ammo sleeve, and 12 rounds of Winchester .38 Spl ammo (not dated). The gun has retained about 97-98% of its original finish with very minor wear around the muzzle, hints of wear on some of the high edges, and a very light roll mark on the cylinder. While there is very little actual finish loss, there are areas with small dots of oxidation and discoloration throughout. It is most noticeable on the cylinder and sides of the frame. Comes with nice period-correct wood grips - there are some tiny bruises here and there and some very light cracking around the left screw hole. The right panel is numbered and matching, the left panel is un-numbered. The bore is mint.
