don't know if you are aware of it, but the grips tell us that the gun is from the early 60's, making it more desirable than the ones w/o the diamonds around the screw...in other words, more valuable - at least $100 I would guess...

any price experts around to give this gentleman an estimated total value? (I guessed $1200, but I don't make the shows & never really kept up w/ the Model 53 - I just happened to be doing some research on it recently because a lesser example became available to me & I passed on it.)
