Safe for the +P and my "Guess" would be around 1968 (ish)

-3 model 1967-1977. And yes +P are fine. I saw one today but the finish was toast.
Made in 1969. It could have shipped later.

Could go to $600/650. Avg. is c. $500/550 in really good condition. Condition is everything. Yours looks very good. I have to confess that I paid $700 recently for one that is almost perfect. Unfortunately, no box or accessories was with it but it really is clean....

Nice revolver.

I think that I would just try to clean it up as best you can and leave it be. It's in pretty good condition and with good care will be just fine.
+P
They built 357 Mag K-Frames. I own several and have shot reasonable Magnum rounds by the thousands with no problems. I think judicious loading of +P ammo will never harm this gun.
I had a 15 Combat Masterpiece that I wore the barrel out . Well over 20,000 rounds fired and it still locked up like a vault. Most were +P 110-125 gr.
loaded hot. In the end it still shot HBWC good but that was about it. Should've kept it and had it rebarreled. Reload saftley and keep her clean.

I personally would not have it re-blued for that. The cylinder may not match the rest of the gun when done. Sure might stand out worse than what you have now. Also, the expense. Bob
