I don’t have this in my possession, so I can’t examine it. It’s chambered in .38 S&W. Victory model, maybe? Any help is appreciated. @Dagga Boy @RevolverRob @Trooper224 @Stephanie B

I’d say @Trooper224 nailed it. Definitely a cut barrel and non-standard sight. Grips look like some thing from the 60s, some kind of plastic Jay Scott or something.
Sawing off the barrel, even so short as to lose the front latch, and nickel plating were common modifications to British Service Revolvers to make them more salable in the Colonies during the private eye craze of the 1950s and 1960s.
Often reamed to accept .38 Special and more often seen with plastic "stag" than wood-ish grips.

Nominally, yes, but I haven't seen measurements to be sure.
But if the surplus brokers didn't care about 5 thou in the chambers, what would make them consider 3 thou in the barrel?

They are not safe for much shooting. I have a couple as “examples”. One is a conversion that is shootable because the front latch is functioning. The short ones like that with only the rear locked and a not exactly right caliber conversion can be a disaster.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

If it doesn’t have a ball detent lock in the yoke a gunsmith can add one.
