Well, FWIW I got this old 1917 commercial last year and it is just about as pitted and has been bumper-chromed OVER the pitting. It has also had the cylinders reamed deeper for 45LC.

Not very pretty, but it shoots good and I'm not complaining since I got it for $255 OTD. It had rubber grips on it, and no lanyard, so I spent another $35 for a set of period correct grips and a lanyard ring.

I'm happy with it and would be equally happy with the one in the OP for $500

I wished $500 was all I paid.
