I am no model 29 expert by any means.
But that is a very nice looking gun. I would have no problem offering $800 for it. Maybe a little more if it has the original box and paperwork. Yes I am am tightwad with my money.
With the unfluted cylinder and adj front sight it is a special model but I can not tell you what it is. What are they asking for it? JA

That is a silhouette model and value maybe $600 - $700.

I don't think $900 is unreasonable if the gun is in good shape and it's what you want, not a bargain, though, in my opinion.

I own the exact revolver, great shooter. I have always really like the sights. Same that are on my 10 5/8”.
For me it would have to be 98-99% to give $900.00. But It’s only money and I guarantee you will like it.
