Help identifying pistol

[.455_Hunter]

Definitely a ~1943 production Victory that has been cut-down, front sight relocated/filled and the whole thing hastily reblued. The front cylinder lock point appears to have also been removed, moving it into the questionable shooter category. Many guns like this also had the chambers reamed to poorly except .38 special with bulging, but .38 S&W would still shoot fine. Such "conversions" were a popular way to make these surplus guns more desirable to the public in the pre-68 GCA era, with Oswald's revovler used to kill the LEO being an almost twin to the above gun, sans grips.
