I was hoping to avoid the possibility but if the gun looks like this it could be a butchered "Victory Model" made for Great Britain in WW II. Barrel is usually cut so far to lose front locking lug on ejector rod. Will be a hole in the butt where a swivel was located. It will also be reamed from original 38 S&W caliber to 38 Special. Such guns have minimal value.

This is what it looks like before being cut up.
