We're going to need more info, but the serial number suggests that you've got a "Victory" Model, a 38 Hand Ejector. These revolvers were made for US use in 38 Special, for UK use in 38 S&W, and a number of the 38 S&W versions were crudely-converted to 38 Special by reaming out the chambers for the longer but skinnier 38 Spl round. So, the value will depend on exactly what you have, but we don't have enough information to know that yet. Pictures would be a big help.
