I think I've read here on the forum from people with similar lack of rifling and yet they still have decent accuracy. I'm not sure if it'd be worth rebluing due to the tolerances from the original chroming, it might almost be worth getting it rechromed but those grips are sure interesting and I like the story behind them.
Your mag bottom is interesting too, is that also something your grandfather did? Otherwise, what a neat heirloom!
