Thanks everyone. I will have to decide. I'm not starving for an N frame 357 as I have others I just don't see 5 screw older guns locally often at a price I don't mind shooting it at... I know it's refinished because the pitting is filled in with the bluing. I think the pitting bothers me more then anything because I cannot fix that. Mechanical stuff I can fix or have fixed. Holding a classic just feels good though.
