Still researching this one but what I do know is it's a Smith & Wesson commonly called a "pre 10". It's chambered for the .38 S&W center fire cartridge. The barrel has been shortened to 4" and re-blued.
Waiting on Smith for additional info but based on the serial number it is probably pre WW2.
 
Bought the Malanika drop point hunter off the Exchange here the other day and another member got the puuko. I couldn't find the motivation to buy both; I wish I had done so. Shown here with a pic of Dad back in the '30s with his 94. Hard times. This hopper fed us for three days. Takes a good knife to get through those exoskeletons, especially the legs (not much meat there anyway).View attachment 1366768 View attachment 1366770

Your dad was A.L. Butts? o_O
 
OK, where are the gals with their guns and knives? Here is an item, February 1946 American Rifleman magazine.View attachment 1366845

The deputies that teach her CCW class were after her to make this holster. They had something similar in kydex but wanted it in the horsehide she uses for her IWB holsters:

If it’s a Victory Model, it would have been parkerized and have a lanyard swivel. If the hole has been plugged, that’s a clue. .38-200, .38 S&W with a 200 grain bullet was the correct load.

You'll like this Cal, I have that Model 75 in my collection, early one 1941 with the mailbox front sight, mine has a vintage 6x Lyman Junior Targetspot set up for squirrel hunting, have the original Redfield rear micrometer sight if I want to switch it back to a target rifle. Knife is XX era Case large hunter.
The 75 was one of the better position target rifles of the time, also used by the military as a trainer WW2. When I was shooting Junior NRA competition in the late 60's we had an armory full of 75's and 52's.

Cool design and great build.
But as a guy, it always makes me uncomfortable to carry a gun pointed there. :eek:
I've got a holster (haven't used it in many years, as I prefer belt strong side, ankle, or pocket, depending on the firearm and situation) called "Thunderwear", which I used to carry a .357 Magnum J-frame. :eek::p
