My first impression is that it probably is OK and appears to be in excellent original condition. It is unfortunate that they used some kind of lighting or color balance manipulation to enhance the blue finish color of the gun as it masks the wear making the gun look a bit better than it actually is and makes the interior "in the white" portion of the frame appear to be blue.
Also, the gun is not correctly identified...it is not an American Eagle, it is just a 1902 Commercial, which is much more difficult to find than an American Eagle.
