Many people try to claim a Victory marked USMC is Marines, it is not. This Victory has not Military Marking what so ever, it is marked B.P.D. 296V on the backstrap.

Are there US Marine marked Victories? I would think the Marine Corps would have used US Navy marked Vic's.
What caliber is this Vic, .38spl or .38S&W?
Have you lettered this Vic with Roy yet?
