What is he asking for it?
That is horrible, just horrible.

Must be a 1950's gun.
Whitewalls were popular then.

Pre-war M&P from the looks of it, with the barrel shortened and the front lug gone. Whoever did it probably had it nickeled too. Shame about them football grips....don't think I'd give over about a hunnerd for that one...
I attend most of the gun shows in Las Vegas area. I have gotten to know some of the dealers and sometimes one will ask my opinion of a S&W.
A dealer showed me the hard to find Victory model 2 inch. I looked the gun over and noticed the barrel had been cut behind the barrel lug. I asked what he paid and he said the guy gave him a deal $1000.
I explained what the problem was and why it was not what he was told.
I toured the show and found the gun on another dealers table and he had to tell me how good a deal he got on the 2 inch Victory. When I pointed out why it was not. He would not believe me. As far as I know he still has it.

Looks like one of those so called 2" Victory models that show up often on GB to sucker in the unwary. They sometimes sell in the $1,000 range to foolish buyers.

Seven replies and no one mentioned (yet) that it appears to be a chopped and nickeled WW II K-200 British Service Revolver. Also probably reamed to .38 Special. Just missing the plastic stag-like stocks. 
WOW! Someone took a $100 pair of target grips, inlaid them with mother of toilet seat inserts and turned them into $0 kindling.

That a "gun dealer" would believe that monstrosity left the factory that way is not at all surprising unfortunately!
Well, it's true in that it came to HIM that way. Joe
Awful just awful …. Yes you had to share it.

Kind of sad. We groan but the New Kids on the Block just keep snapping them up. Or think they have Something Special when they inherit it.

Buy it cheap, dump the stocks, and hopefully, it shoots well. Then use it was a truck gun.
Bought one something like that a week ago. Cleaned it up and changed the grips. It started life as a Colt New Service in .455. Someone chopped the barrel and turned it into a .45 Colt. Shoots well, will make a good truck gun or night stand gun. All heads turn at the range when it goes off!

What's the problem; haven't you ever seen a New Orleans pimp's gun before?

Never been to New Orleans.......been to the Hill District before, and was carrying an issue M1911A1.
Looks like an S&W SP101
