Arron,
because it has a long frame it looks like a 1908. The 1908 navy did not have a chamber date on it. While your pictures are good under the conditions, they are not good enough to comment much further. I could not detect the proof marks and other markings on the frame or the serial numbers. I would also need a closer examination of the rear sight. Also check out the witness lines under the barrel to see if they align properly.
Judging from the wear on the grips and your comment on the condition of the bore, I would be suspect about the bluing. Just too much usage of the gun to justify an excellent rating on the finish. If its been restored then the price is too high.
If there are no military or naval proof marks of the gun then there might be another problem. I am not certain and could be wrong, but I think that a commercial 1908 navy would have serial numbers in the 51000 range for the long framed commercials. I also think that there would be a crown 'N' mark on the left side of the receiver. Maybe a 'GERMANY' on it. Other people will have to help me out on this one.
