Thank you Absalom!

I got to check the chamber, a .38 special round fits. This actually was part of the reason that prompted me to seek opinion on how heavily modified this one has been. Because I thought all British one would be .38-200. And a .38 special fitting it was odd.

On the rebluing, is there a chance that earlier models were blued instead of the more common sandblast finish? Or is it true that any production from Fall of 1942 would have been sandblast finish?

At the same time, since it was cut to 4" from 5", maybe that's why they reblued it after the cutting? For education, how do you decern the front sight is reattached? I would have never caught that one. Aside from thinking the 4" barrel on a Brisith model was a little odd.
