Armaloy and S S Metalife were popular finishes back in the day... no doubt that you have one of those type finishes.

No, that finish was not applied at the factory.
Your revolver would have left the factory either blue or nickel
One of the telltale clues that a revolver was plated outside of the factory is that the ejector star is also plated. Factory plated firearms have blued ejector stars.

That looks like a really nice revolver. I would love to own it. $900 is not too much.
But in your case somehow I can't help thinking a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle would be more appropriate!

The only thing I can say is if I were looking a shooting carrying tough revolver that would get the job done I would definitely get that bad boy for a paultry 900$ .If you halfway take care of it you can carry it shoot it use be proud of it and one day pass it to your grand kids and on and on but I like them 29s I love the collector grade guns all blue and pretty and such I truly enjoy looking at others pictures but my guns are tools mostly like a great saw or hammer I need em tough ,to be used ,I love that gun man be happy ,happy ,happy it's yours ,hey take it out and shoot it and give us a range report maybe with some pics ,I promise I'll look at it ,forget the money part it is well more valuable as a tool than what you paid ,will it ever be a collectors item ?Who knows but if it is it won't have to be handled with white gloves on because that Armaloy is some tough stuff.
Good looking revolver. It's almost certainly hard chrome. Finish is after-market. It looks like nice work. I wouldn't be a bit worried about the price. It's in line or maybe just a tad high, but not agonizingly so. What you need now is a nice set of stocks of your choosing. Nill certainly makes some very nice ones. Congratulations on your new sixgun!

Thank you all, a lot!!!!
I love the gun too, it's my 3rd 29-2... The first was a blued one with a 6" barrel. The 2nd one was a 8 3/8" in nickel. Both sold over the years.
Unfortunately we don't get any carry permit in Austria, at least its very hard or almost impossible.
I have a pair of original grips ( coke bottle ) but the butt pin is missing.
I'll try to get a new one....
Also i' m looking for grips made from buffalo bone, like fake ivory...
Tomorrow I should get my latest buy, a S&W Victory 38, got it for 30$!!!!!! But it's missing the butt swiffel and the original grip panels.
I wanna order all parts together save shipping cost......
