    Donut-- Other than the barrel it's pretty nice. A proper barrel replacement shouldn't be too hard to find. I really like the U.S. property marking. Salt Flat

    I'm thinking it should LIKELY be a four inch barrel for a 38 S&W special...not too hard to find in the US, I don't know about where you are. Maybe you can get it imported, I know I couldn't.

    The front barrel has been replaced, probably the forcing cone was split. Now a days an easy repair with laser welding. The front sight blade looks like its to a Model 98 Mauser rifle. The aftermarket barrels are out there.
