The photo is too low resolution to be definite upon enlargement, but it appears to me that the recognizable CTG is placed about where it is on my ordinary .38 Spl. 6" S-prefix M&P, so I wouldn't bet any money on this being a rare .38 S&W. Especially considering how much else the seller screwed up on this listing.

Based on their website, West Coast Armory is a professional full-service gun business with multiple locations, indoor range and gunsmithing, and I am really at a loss how someone could bungle this auction posting so badly. Maybe a summer intern on legal pot?

PS: Just looking at the bid history, this was a 14-day auction with 18 bids total; I can pretty much guarantee you that the seller got multiple messages during that time pointing out the error of his ways, obviously without reaction; that is very odd.
