Thanks for the photos. The grips are wood and do look like worn original grips. They might be serial #'d to the gun on the inside of them. If you decide to remove them, be very careful as they are easy to chip. Looks like a nice example to me.

The others will be able to evaluate the finish a little better as most Brazilians went through hard use are often worn out and often restored. I had a restored example a while back.

If the finish is original, I'm guessing $1500, perhaps more to the right buyer. Nice gun!

Pictures can fool us sometimes, but it does appear to have had some touch up work done to it. If true, this will lower the collector value.

The gun does look very nice however, thanks for posting!!
