I followed that auction and bid a couple hundred bucks as a project frame. The hammer price + buyer's premium + shipping + FFL transfer fee + background check put you way underwater on that one. I have a C&R so I would have saved on the last two. Still, way too high for a heavily pitted, refinished gun with post-war barrel. It might be worth $350 to someone who wants a fun shooter. With that heavy pitting, I would have it blasted and ceracoated and shoot it as-is. Any more money put into it will never increase its value.

You could add an aftermarket rear adjustable target sight. They mount by replacing the upper sideplate screw. I have a couple spares. Let me know if you are interested.
