BigRon,
* All parts e/359 marked, correct numbered & e/359 grips, all matching S/Numbers, fully functional, matching numbered mag??
* Even without a matching mag, if the rest of the above is satisfied, $800 would be a good number. A 98% original, high polish finished, matching ac40 with all of the above can bring $2000 per the latest Standard Catalog of prices not considering the numbered mag.

except for magizine and finnish everything else is macthing and in great shape no pitts or scars thinking of having bill adir restore it. would having profesonaly redone increase value

Bigron, from what I have seen, professionally restoring will increase the value, but usually to about what you have in it.

i.e. $800 gun + $400 reblue / restore {or more}, is probably not worth the $1200 (unless it is very rare or unusual)

There is no way you could get it restored</u> for $400! You could, of course, get it reblued</u> for that price..

is there anyway to remove the dip and leave the original finnish looks like it is real good under dip.

Big Ron,

The grips should be numbered to the gun and have the e/359 acceptance stamp on them. I would not mess with the finish. Using 00000 steel wool and a little gun oil will remove the dip but if you rub too hard you have a messed up gun. I would leave it the way it is and look for e/359 small parts that are not on the gun currently and try to find a mag with the correct letter block and numbered grips to make it look nicer.
