Unless the engraver is a known and collected artist it's just a interesting revolver....Not much interest in altered Victory models. So the value would probably be around $200 to $250

Is that purple color the actual color of the gun or is that just an optical effect caused by the camera flash or lighting? Sometimes guns or parts turn a purple color IIRC if the bluing solution is too hot or something, or if the steel in the gun or parts has a high nickel content. If the gun is purple, this would detract from its value and appeal.
Is it in .38 special or .38 S&W? Old S&W's like Victory Models are generally a lot more sought after and worth more in .38 Special. Also, some in .38 S&W had the cylinder chambers bored out longer to take .38 Special, but the cases will bulge due to the larger diameter of the .38 S&W round and the bore diamter is too large, so this conversion seriously devalues the gun and kills its collectability, making it just a cheap and crappy shooter. It looks well done, so if it has a decent blue finish (straight guys don't like purple or pink guns), the engraving is smooth without sharp rough edges (no one wants to handle a gun that feels like a rough file), a good bore, and hasn't been the victim of one of these azzy .38 spl. conversions, I would estimate it's value at around double what SVT-40 quoted, at least in my area.

I would pay $400 - so, likely it's worth more.
![]() Pit. *I wouldn't sell it for less than $750. Research the engraver, could be worth more to the right person. Last edited by pitfighter; 01-10-2013 at 7:24 AM.. |

The engraving on it sais " H&H ZEHNER FRANKFURT T/M" and the barrel is stamped
".38 S&W SPECIAL CTG" . The color purple is just a thing with my cell phone camera. Last edited by MJGUNTRADE; 01-09-2013 at 9:33 PM.. |
