The barrel is 3 & 1/2, has been re-blued, and fitted with an unusual grip adapter which allowed the owner to put a set of Single Action Army style grips on it.
Someone transitioning from a Colt SAA to a Smith DA , who knows?
If I remember right it was shipped to Oshman's for Houston PD.
Has a man's name engraved on the sideplate.
Paired up with a floral tooled, break front holster by Sterling Leather.

That's definitely a unique grip treatment. Fortunately didn't require any modifications to the gun itself, just custom made SAA shaped grips installed.
If you can show a photo of the left side of the grip frame w/o the stocks and one of the serial # area in the barrel shroud we can help determine if anything else was done on its return trip to the factory besides the re-blue.
