I am not familiar with prices where you live. With the muzzle wear I believe the price is very steep. I paid 1750 for one that was LNIB all original. But it was LNIB.As to the grips being numbered i have only seen that on very early Pre 19s aka Combat Magnums without model stamping. In my neck of the woods I would guess 750 to 800.00 for the one pictured. The early Combat Magnums sometimes had numbered grips and I do have one with numbered matching grips. But I had a article generously given to me from Doc44 (Thanks again DOC) that states it was not uncommon for the grips to not have matching numbers on the Pre 19. If my eyes are awake I see muzzle wear. So if you are buying it for a shooter that's where I would set my price range. If you are buying a collector price I would keep looking as I believe you can find a better condition one. They do come up. Welcome to the crazy world of Combat Magnum collecting! When I first started i would buy what ever i could get. Now I just try and find pristine examples. Also I am not sure the grips on the one he is trying to sell are correct for that era. Notice the lower right corner of the curve on the one you pictured and compare the lower right corner of jack the toads 19-1. I was educated if you will by another forum member about that. The slight curve was typically on 19-2 models where as the earlier revisions had a sharper angle.
That can be challenging and very expensive!
