The latch lug looked odd in the first picture, but I now agree that it is a factory 2" transplant rather than a cutoff. I still think the extractor rod was cut off to match, that knurling is really crude.
It is a K frame, but non-critical dimensions like the grip straps seemed to "drift" over the years. I don't have the book to look up age, but would not be surprised if this were a 1920s gun.
A Terrier, sometimes listed as .38-32, is a small five shot .38 S&W (Not Special) on the I or J frame.
