Nice piece. You might be surprised at what a Google search could provide as a clue to the status of the previous owner.

Were those barrels shortened?? I've seen some that were...

That one has had something done to it. Front sight is all wrong. Barrel is oddly contoured and a non-standard length. Probably also converted from .380/200 (.38 S&W) to .38 special.
The issuing of the retention certificate just means that the fellow who was allowed to bring it back was the legal possesor of the firearm, not that he had it as a duty weapon. Interesting "permission slip", though.

I belive the revolver was being converted from .38 S&W to .38 SPL in UK (with a shorter barrel).

It just LOOKS like the barrel may have been shortened. It's hard to tell from here.

The obvious clue is that there's no forward support for the ejector rod. Unless this is a Smolt.
