Pictures really help when evaluating finish and overall condition......one man's "rough" is another's "honest wear".....on a 50 year old gun ( your's looks to have been shipped in 1963)..... it's hard not to have muzzle wear, turn line etc... if the gun hasn't spent it's life in a sock drawer!!!!

Bluing is just a form of controlled rust...... and not all that hard to wear off on high spots by the friction from holstering and drawing the gun over the years. .

These days it seems used Smith pricing start in the $500 range.
