Rafter-S,

It would be to your advantage to have them hold that pistol for you, take pictures and submit them here for inspection. There are several folks here who are experts at this and you might be looking at a rare and collectable S&W for what seems to be a good price.

If the price is cheap enough it is worth it regardless of the barrel length and sight configuration.

Regards.
