Two thoughts: 1) If it's a Smith, go see Tamara. 2) Open the cylinder, and check for a model number right in front of it. That's where the "MOD 10-5" is stamped on mine. Edited to add: Thought number 3)  Visit Smith & Wesson and request a History Letter. |
Nothing on the front or frame, the rear has the serial # and S V |

\ I'd hesitate to show this geezer some leg. Last time I did he was all over it  I gave my wife one simulare, she likes it. |
Right on the BBL first thing I noticed, "38 S. & W. special ctg" I would say it is a 38 Special. I don't think the Victory was sold in 45ACP. I am just trying to get a feel for what it is worth, she wants to sell it to get a new Auto.  I think she is nuts because her dad was one of the WWII hero's.

The M&P/Victory models have the funky grips not the standard 2 piece Smith grips more commonly encountered, think of every checkered wooden gripped revolver from the 50's-80's you've ever seen. Most of the M&P/Victory models I've seen have the lanyard ring on the bottom. Ive had a pile of Model 10s over the years and like the old Smith K frames, but mostly too shoot rather then carry. Stopped carrying a Model 10 when I was 19
