This is an original WWII US made and issued Smith & Wesson .38 M&P revolver dating to 1941. It is not a "Victory" model, the serial number has no V prefix and there are no other countries property markings. This revolver made around the same time that the Japanese made their surprise attack on the US Naval fleet stationed at Pearl Harbour in December 1941. All relevant serial and production numbers are matched and correct, and the finish is completely original. This example cocks and dry fires and the chambers revolver correctly. It also comes with its correct deactivation certificate.
