Cannot tell from the slightly out of focus pics.

What happened to the trigger guard?

Why The Fitz? - RevolverGuy.Com

Recently, there has been a lot of interest and posts on “Fitz” revolvers on social media. I simply shake my head at the level of pontification and commentary by folks who have absolutely no concept of the reason they existed and what the intent was in their creation. There is a huge disconnect...

I had to look it up too. This article is thorough.

Normally factory barrels will have the front sight machined into the barrel and not pinned unless its newer production guns with the pined in sight blade. Also the stamped lettering on the side of the barrel will be centered and not closer to the muzzle end indicating the barrel has been shortened. There are some exceptions on the front sights that are pined on pre model revolvers but lettering should still be centered. If this all checks out it will probably be a factory length.

i do not agree with your evaluation.
