Even I can see that it is a pre-WW II revolver so, given its chambering, whether it was privately owned or not there is a good chance that it was taken to dangerous places during WW II.
Since you like "shooters" at $265 I'd buy it. If you put it off some one else will snap it up. However, it will be hard to aim with sun light shinning off those tiny chromed sights. I own a 1917 that had a J frame adustable sight and a Micro front installed before I bought it in 1975. You could consider doing the same thing to this 1917.
