I normally collect pre-war (WW2), and the more modern guns are outside my area of expertise. Truthfully I would rate this gun in the high 90's, near like new.
To my eye the 39/639 is the most elegant pistol S&W ever produced, particularly the fixed sight round trigger guard version. I agree with the previous post that beat up functional x39s are common in the $300 price range. If this one is in high 90s condition it would be worth it. If you decide it doesn't fit your collection you should have no trouble selling it later.
