A good gun, at a good price. Definitely a Police gun.
Strawing the parts normally strawed would be a personal preferance issue. It will not increase the value of the gun, and regardless of quality of the reblue, it's collector value is permanently reduced. The blue is also a hot-salt blue and not rust-blue... another distinction from the original qualities.
Replacing the sideplate with a correctly numbered one would still not make it "all matching" because the replacement part didn't leave the factory with the pistol.
Enjoy it for what it is, IMHO,... A GREAT shooter.
