hi guys ,,here is a picture of my 1945 victory M&P SV 812, xxx ,I replaced the Pachmeyers with a spare set of Magnas. these SV series were the first comerical porduction S&W at the close of WW2 , the vintage revolver still retains over 95 % of its original blue. lockup is tight ,does not appear to ever been in a holster ,

Congratulations. According to my Standard Catalog of S&W, 3rd edition the highest recorded SV # at the time it was printed was SV811832 which was on a nickle plated model. Does your still have the hole in the butt for the lanyard or has it been plugged?

That is a nice looking gun. The wood grips really set it off.
