Welcome to the forum,
There is no question that your gun has been reblued. Your best evidence is in the photo you sent of the 4 proof marks on the right side of the pistol. The "scallop" in the frame just above the gun's chamber should be crisp and well defined. Your grips have been "freshened" by someone chasing the checkering cuts or they are replacements.
Nice gun that will make a nice shooter but it is not collectable.
