I received this revolver from a family member that passed recently. All the information I could find on it was that it's an N-Frame, possibly model 3? Hand ejector and had the barrel/sight modified. The serial numbers also do not seem to match. I also think that it had been re-nickeled or wasn't nickeled to begin with because I don't think the trigger and hammer are supposed to be nickeled.
I'm just wondering if anyone here has any information on this gun or it's modifications. Was this done by a known gunsmith? Why was the barrel sawed off and sight replaced? What exact model would you call this gun, was I correct in my previous assumptions? (I believe the barrel was sawn off because the sight doesn't look to be original [I think it should be the half-moon] and the manufacture location seems to be cut off.
Thank you for reading and any help you can provide.
