It's likely that the entire pistol wasn't refinished. You can still see the toggle axle retaining pin is in the white.
It is very clear that the imperial proofs have been removed and that area reblued. Other areas also may have been redone, but with this lighting (probably flash?) it's hard to judge.
Defacing the proofs does unfortunately remove it from what is considered collectable.
If it's all matching, including the magazine, it is probably in the high end of the shooter category. $900-$1000. Please post pictures of the magazine base.
If removing the pin doesn't damage or deface it, the holster is worth $200, and looks correct to me.
