My shooter grade has many marks on the right side flats so I doubt there would be any collector interest. I have several 30's that are in much better shape but I went looking for a much cheaper, shooter grade 30-1, I wanted the J frame to handle the extra length & additional pressure of the .32mag. It just worked out that it is an early 60's vintage. The important factors are that it was cheap and a shooter.
