As is with the repro. grips you are close to that $500 figure. Repair and reblue the gun and you are a bit over that figure, but whether it is far enough over to justify the addl. cost remains to be seen. Correctly restore the gun and you will throw more at it than you will get back.
Maybe have the hole filled and smoothed up and swab on some cold bluing and go for $650-$700 as a shooter.
Just for my info. what is the chamber date? And I'm assuming that it runs good, bore is OK, etc.
Hope this helps.
