Hey everyone,
I have a coworker who owns this revolver and was wondering what the value of it might be. From the bit of research I've done it looks to me like a Model 10 Victory model and with the serial number would put it early 1940's.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!






 
.38 Military & Police “Victory” Model circa 1942-1945. Are the letter GHD stamped on the butt near the lanyard ring? If so, this gun bears the mark of the inspector Guy H. Drewry.

Unless someone has rechambered or fitted a new cylinder, it is in .38 Smith and Wesson or the british terminology .38-200 or .380 revolver. All the same cartridge.

Defiantly not a model 10, "Victory" model was more of a made up term than anything else and is not a model number of any kind. The Model would be "Military and Police". There were basically 2 versions the first Blued normally called the M & P and the second the Victory normally parkerized. I have seen variants of both done in both finishes.

Smith has had a Military and Police model in their line up for many years even now with the M & P semi auto pistol and the M & P AR-15 variant.

These are wonderful little revolvers to shoot and this K framed gem eventually became the Model 10 in about 1947 or so.

That looks to be in good shape. I would bet it could fetch $300-$400 to a collector. I have one in the same shape and they are sweet shooters. It would be in 38 S&W. Not to be confused with 38 S&W Special (38 Special). If he reloads he can use 38 projectiles for a 38/357 with good accuracy which are usually .358 even though proper 38S&W are .361 Mine shoots both like a laser in cast or jacket.

Cheers
