Seller simply calls it a 38spc.
He said he does not know what model it is.
At first glance I thought it was a 1899 hand ejector M&P.
I cannot ID it.
Anyone know?

Better pictures and without the grips would help.
added I agree, the ejector rod looks strange.
Ejector rod cut off along with barrel lug [B)] See pic [B)]
Also refinished [:0] Not worth half what's he's asking [^]
Fact, gun is refinished (note plated trigger & hammer)
Fact, not original grips
Fact, not original barrel or ejector rod configurations
Gun is five shot, prolly post war pre 32 0r 33
Gun appears to be 4 screw configuration
Cylinder may be 38 S&W, can't read caliber designation on barrel
This is what I would call a "franken-gun"
As for price, note the "NO RETURNS"
Right now the ejector shroud is gone and barrel looks to be cut down and/or a replacement. Refinish appears probable and even that looks to be a bit worn.
I don't even want to speculate on what exactly it is, but I'll say sight unseen that its highly improbably that it locks up tighter than a new one (unless the cylinder gap is too short!), and that its "barely been fired".
IMO, that's a $250 gun *MAX*, and there is *NO WAY* I'd buy a gun like that without at least a close personal inspection.
a franken-gun.
it is at a local gun shop.
may go give it a curious look.
It is also refinished and hacked up.
I don't care that it does "lock up tighter than a new one." I wouldn't have it as a gift.
I believe you are correct in your assessment.
Why do you say hacked up?
Would someone give my uneducated eyes some help as to what I am not noticing?
To me it looks to be a worn finish nickeled 38spc missing the ejector rod with after market grips.
Is the silver colored hammer and trigger the main reason it appears to be re-nickeled?

Note how the barrel is marked, the taper of the barrel, the tip on the end of the ejector rod, & the lug on the bottom of the barrel; all of these are missing from the one we are discussing.
Note that this one also has plated hammer & trigger, since it has also been refinished. A factory hammer/trigger would be case hardened.
If you get the chance to inspect it, the markings stamped on the barrel might tell us a lot.
