Good day to all. Just thought I would share some pics of my" new to me " Australian marked Victory. I dont know much about it at this point other than the numbers match, it doesnt appear to have been used since FTR , and it has it's box, papers and ,cleaning rod. Serial number dates it to...

You did extremely well.. Congrats . British Nitro Proofs (BNP) definitely say lend lease to me . Serial number puts its born on date at November of 41.
