Thumbs up A New Guy and a Bekeart. A Real One?

Hi folks. Hoping to find a little info on what I believe to be a "real" Bekeart and looking for input.

I have a few SW handguns but not any collectibles. When I found this I ran to the web and the web brought me to this wonderful place! Lots of info!

This piece seems to be in excellent mechanical condition lacking only in the cosmetics. It looks like a gun that was handled a lot but fired very little. I picture a young boy twirling this thing endlessly instead of doing his homework or chores! The rifling is excellent, as are the timing and lock up. All numbers match with the serial #207998 appearing on the grip frame, the grips (in pencil) barrel flat, cylinder, and the backside of the star. In addition, the sideplate,frame and crane have #3267 on them.
The grip has 2117 stamped in the bottom.

My questions are: is it 1 of 3000? Does it appear legit? I don't know what qualifies as a real Bekeart...is this one?
(apologies for the pic quality) The bluing on the frame is flaked or worn, not sure the reason for that but there's no rust or pitting or damage. The bluing on the barrel is flawless. What would a quality reblue of the frame do to the value?

Anyone have an idea on value as-is?

If pics do not appear its because I'm still trying to figure the method for posting...please bear with me(!)
Thanks in advance!
