"Victory in Europe" (as standard Caithness weight) was planned LE 500, but closed at 140 (Colin Terris, "Charlton Guide" page 185).

Caithness also produced two weights for Peter Jones China, Wakefield, identical design, but with a J and E cane respectively, named "Victory in Japan" and only "Victory" (according to the "Charlton Guide") for the one with the E cane. Both were planned LE 100, and likely all 100 were produced.

Back to your weight: the catalogue image has been scanned for Scotlandsglass (but is not yet online). Obviously good photographs of actual weights are to be preferred - so if you have such images, and are willing to offer them to Scotlandsglass, this would be appreciated. You'll be mentioned as copyright holder, of course.
