Picked this one up recently and wanted to share. It’s a post war transitional 38/44 outdoorsman and too cool to pass up. It was cut to 3.5 inches to be what I’ll call my “poor man’s non-RM.” It’s been reblued and has evidence of old pitting on the barrel and frame. The action is pretty slick, almost as good as my worn prewar OD. The trigger grooves have been smoothed out. The chambers have been lengthened to accept 357 mag. Also, to my surprise it has a King front sight! 
I think it’s a cool gun and, given the pitted exterior, one that would have been a good candidate for the mods that were done to it. Chambers and bore are clean.
It came wearing some oversize stocks which cover the backstrap. The stocks have no markings inside or out that I can tell. I put on some mismatched prewar service stocks likely off of a Brazilian. I’m looking forward to shooting and enjoying my budget cut non-registered magnum.
