Good Evening and Thank You!!

First of all sorry I should have been more specific

When I purchased it I was told that it had been refinished and that was reflected in the price ( I'm into it for 900 ) yet everything I could tell ( based on my limited knowledge ) told me that this was the original finish and that this would be a bargain and I should walk out the door with it.

And so I did and here I am

I was concerned about the finish and staining of the barrel butt it appears to be the original finish and that the original owner left there mark on the barrel finish

Everything matches ( that I can tell ) with little sign of use or wear

My question would be value I have had a hard time sorting that out since they vary from $1000 for a well worn matching shooter to $4000+ with a holster
