I'd like to see more pictures, especially the front of the frame, there were 2 variations of the 1937, all blued and strawed; so I am not sure if it is reblued or not.

The sideplate is the most telling of looking reblued, but the edges are fairly sharp and if a reblue, not a bad one.

If not a reblue, you did well, if a reblue, I think a complete 1937 would be still a $750 gun on my table, maybe a bit more.

Also, the 1937 would have an aluminum based magazine, so pick up a DDR (east german) mag for around $60-$70 and it'll look right, yet be a shooter magazine.
