UPDATE - I picked it up from my local Bass Pro earlier this week. Overall the process was pretty painless other than waiting around for them to complete all their paperwork and triple checks.
I think the old girl looks pretty good for 103 years old. Frame, barrel, and cylinder serial number all match. Pleasantly surprised that writing on inside of right grip panel is matching to the gun! So the grips are original. I knew that there was a chip on bottom of left grip that was poorly glued back, I will definitely be working on that to blend and correct.
Only thing I am a little disappointed in is some slight barrel pitting at 6 o'clock inside the barrel at the muzzle, maybe 1/8". I could not see this with inside lighting at the shop. Not sure what if anything I will do about this, definitely going to shoot it some to see if it really matters. It needs a complete disassembly and deep clean which I will do in the next couple of days. The ejector rod is slightly bent (no surprise) but nothing a quick trip through the Power Custom alignment fixture won't fix. A little bit of endshake that I will correct also. I have taken a bunch of photos...
