I'm 99.9% sure it's a reblue. Being a 9mm, I would guesstimate $1k, give or take $100-$150 depending on how badly somebody wants it. If this was my gun, I'd try $1k on GB and see if it flies.

My tendency is to jump onto this bandwagon--buffed, re-blued, proofs finagled. One way to judge the buffing is by the "roundness" that Olle has pointed out--flat surfaces appear softer, not flat. I also think I spy some bluing over minor blemishes/pits/scratches. $800-1000 would be my opinion, definitely under a thou.
