It's from mid-1944. Is the barrel marked .38 S&W or .38 S&W Special? Obviously, it's a highly modified Victory, and if originally in .38 S&W, its chambers may have been bored to accept .38 Special. In any event, it has no collector value, only as a shooter, which might be $200-$300. That's an unusually high front sight. If you aim for some bad guy's chest, you'll probably hit him in the foot.
The grips are of the type used by S&W in the 1930s.
