True, but NOT with the stamp PWM command - use a toggle, pause, toggle sequence, or a PULSOUT command.

Using PULSOUT pin, variable , the variable is a value 0-65535 which is the length of the pulse, and for a BS2sx, the uuits are 0.8 us - 1250 ought to give a 1 ms pulse.

You could use a PAUSE to get the inter-pulse time to order (say 15 to 25ms), or you could let the program loop do that, for which you would have to test (verify) that your loop time works with the Victor.

Cost-wise, a 555 circuit is way ahead. ;-)
