I purchased three k series revolvers from the same seller. He told me they had minor freckling, it turned out to be dried reddish oil. All three are close to 99.99% condition.

Those are not the stocks in your original picture, but having the original Magna stocks is a plus.

I shoot the gun every once in a while and didn't wont to put any more ware on them. I gave $200 for the gun about 30 years ago. I have never seen any # targets. Post #1 was asking for value.

Is it bright blue or satin blue finish? I have a fairly nice satin blue #500XX I bought for less than $355.00 not to long ago, it did have rubber stocks that I have since replaced with wood target stocks. I was probably lucky that day.

I have one I bought broke--
, fixed it and put it back thinking to have it nickeled at Fords. Finish was a bit challenged, but I only paid $85.00 for it. 
So, I dug it out sometime back and spray it down good with Kroil Oil & Ballistol and placed in a baggie for a couple weeks. No copper scrub down just a good wipe down and went over with Hoppes #9 -- The consensus here was dont nickel it so I didnt. Found a nice little set of Ivories I had stashed and installed them and a old, not Tyler, grip adapter. She might not be as nice as some but she suits me fine. Does well at the range as well. Unless the one you're looking at is really a dog, I would buy it. With things the way they are I doubt you will be sorry. That saying if the bore is in good shape. I'm not a collector so all this is JMHO
Here is a quick photo I took before the range:
