Two Smith & Wesson Victory Model Revolvers , the first revolver shows Sn. V 339,684 on the butt strap, back of the cylinder, and under the barrel. The Sn .on the Crane and Crane recess match each other. There are no markings at all on top of the barrel. No other markings beside the right and left side barrel markings .38S&W CTG,and Smith & Wesson . On the right frame the S&W logo and "Made IN U.S.A" markings are apparent .
Both guns I believe may have been used by the Canadian National Railway Police . They were purchased back in 1974 from a gunshop that used to supply different police agencies with all kinds of equipment and arms.
Both guns have the same checkered grips, and modified front sights.
The second revolver Sn. is V 560,105,(with the lighter colored grip pannels) showing a "4" on the butt strap and a "Crown over BNP" on the underside of the frame as well as other Birmingham proof markings under the barrel. (British,) "Birmingham",Commercial nitro proof and firing proof markings?)
The "P" U.S. firing proof marking is stamped on three different places on the gun, left side plate, under the barrel, rear of the cylinder.
I must admit, I don't know much about these guns,...and I certainly don't know about the holster.
Any insight from people that know these guns would be appreciated.
