Until you hold the piece in your hands, you can't really judge a photo (except for J.Holbrook's). I'll bet dollars to donuts the blue will come out better in your hands than in the photos. The right side looks like it might have had a little steel wool taken to it at some point. Doesn't look like it's ever been reblued/buffed, the lettering and edges appear sharp. Trigger doesn't look like it's been fingered excessively. The grips look like they've seen some holster time, which would explain the modest wear to the pony on the grips. The grip screw looks buggered. There appears to be freckling rust here and there which should clean up with some 0000 and gun oil. I'd give this piece, based soley on the pictures, a 6 of 10. Above Shooter grade, well below museum quality. A decent guiltless low collector grade with shootability. Appears to be a decent representative example.

Now, the integrity of the seller and the price seem to be the major factors.
