Looking a 1916 over to keep or send back

I am trying to decide on a 1916. It has an area on the bottom of the side plate where two digits appear to have been but are ground away by a rotary grinder. The two correct numbers are on the side; where they usually are placed.. The plate fits a little snug. One grip screw has been cross threaded. Screw and frame will have to be worked on - skillifullly - in order to fully recover from the dreadful deed.
The gun supposedly belonged to Mr. Jan Stills until 10 plus years ago.
Anybody have any dealing witha Mr. James Walsh, Oregon?
thanks
Jack
