Some might think it a shame to shoot this one, which is in really good condition. I also think it might be several hundred bucks over-priced compared to collector-to-collector expectations (IMO).
If you want a shooter, I'd recommend buying a shooter! You will likely spend around half as much to achieve that goal, and pretty ones--nicely refinished, minor mismatched, or other easily correctable issues--would definitely not be out of running in the lesser price range.
