I have read on this very forum about these guns, so I found a thread or two about it, read up on them, and then sent the ad poster this message:

I have read on this very forum about these guns, so I found a thread or two about it, read up on them, and then sent the ad poster this message:
You have a Smith & Wesson victory model revolver there. They were originally made to fire the .38 S&W cartridge which is NOT interchangeable with the .38 Spl.
It appears from the ramp front site, and the shortened barrel, that it was converted to fire .38 Spl. before being reimported to the United States. (If it had actually been acquired in WW2, it would still be chambered for .38 S&W.)
You should probably disclose this in your ad.
