You can float it around for restoration, maybe past our own Thor, but it would be a bit like lighting money on fire and throwing it in the trash can. You will never get your money back out of the project.
Your price guestimate is approprate.

Thanks for the replys! I should have been a little more clear on talking about restoring this. I plan on doing this myself, and will not try and restore it to 95% condition or better, and instead will opt for a used look.
I just want to get rid of that awfull pitting on the left side, and restore some of the strawing, put a little more color back on the frame and barrel, then replace the mainspring and striker spring, and get a decent repro holster.

What is the story with the axis pin? I always thought these were numbered to the pistol, and this is blank.

Are the grips older repros?
