New member, need help with valuing 42 byf for trade.

The photos are not clear or complete enough, but I'm seeing an amatuer-level refinish job with new grips. If I am correct the value is no more than (about) $800 IMHO. It is what I call a nice loking 4 footer.
I think I am seeing a couple of strawed parts and a couple of parts dark blued which should be "in the white".
I have no idea if the numbers are matching or if that gun is some rare variant. I'm doubtful on both accounts.
If you want it to shoot and the price is right, then all is well. But you mention being a collecter, so I'd recommend saving your money for an un-molested piece.
If you dissagree, please provide better photos. I have certainly been wrong before.
Welcome aboard.
