The crane is stamped 88716 - with a larger "c4" also on the crane

The barrel is 4" and stamped "45 CAL. MODEL 1955

I'm no revolver expert, but my understanding is the targets were only made in 6-61/2 inch barrels?

Any advice on what's going on here would be appreciated!
Based on the positioning of the barrel markings I would bet the 6.5" barrel was cut back to about 4". Is the muzzle crowned? Any evidence of the front sight being reattached?
