The Navy marked S&W is curious, it isn’t a Victory model as the grips and hammer are wrong (Victory’s had smooth grips, and the hammer is “transitional” in the late 40’s style).
The buyer got a good deal on it though.

As mentioned, I may have mis-remembered the pic for the Navy marked Smith. I clearly remember the pistol. I handled it and examined the Navy marking. I hate to say that I am not sure this is the right picture.
I felt it was worth mentioning the revolver, though, to give people a better understanding of what is brought in to these events.
