Yesterday I bought this 5 Screw M&P 38spl. made about 1955 according to the serial number. After I bought it, I realized it had been reblued. Should have known from the blued hammer and trigger. They should have been case hardened. Also the Grip is not period correct, but I wasn't too worried about that. I was excited that mechanically, it is like new. No wear on internal parts. Bore is pristine. I know that from a collecting point of view, I did not make out. But as a shooter, it is in great shape. I paid $350.00 for it. The person I bought it from, said he didn't realize it was reblued and would refund my money if I desire. I would like some opinions if it is or isn't worth what I paid for it. Thanks for any input.
