Can't really figure out the finish. It's a dull black, but doesn't look like parkerized.
I think you did fine at $475. The finish looks like Cerakote, but I really can't tell without putting my hands on the pistol. It's definitely one of the more modern spray on finishes, then again, it could be VHT engine paint. One way to tell if it is paint would be to apply various solvents to an inconspicuous area. Strong solvents like carburetor cleaner or brake cleaner will usually remove such paint.
