Repairing a FLAC file without properties

I've got a live recording that won't play. The file doesn't seem to have any properties (length, encoding etc).

I've tried opening in Audacity (and other software) as a raw file and tried guessing the encoding and byte order. I was kind of hoping I might eventually luck on the right combination and would then be able to export it. But it's never worked.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what to try with it to try and salvage the recording? I can even give a link to it if anyone with good technical understanding wants to have a look at the file itself.

Any advice would be really appreciated. If it is ultimately salvageable I will obviously seed it
