Hi WR,
In your review of "all matching and all correct", you have some mistakes.

First, the grips screws are not marked with an "S" of any kind.

Secondly, the grips may or may not be numbered with the last two digits as well as having an "S". They could have both an "S" and the last two digits, or just the serial, or just the "S", or completely blank and all would be correct.

Thirdly, condition dictates the value and until one personally examines a piece it is better to not volunteer too much information which might not be correct and influence the owner as to thinking the value is something other than it could be. For an example, specking, freckling and blue touch up can be invisible when viewing pictures and when examined in person can greatly devalue a piece if present.
