Well , if as you say, it's a heavy barrel, 6 1/2 in., 1955 or 1956 gun, numbers match, I,d mortgare a testicle to own it.
$700. would be fair. CHECK under the grips for any re work marks, it well may have been sent back to the factory and converted.
That would make it legit with me.

Camp out with yer' checkbook and go get it.


What? You're not back yet?

Goods luck ,,Allen F.
