Not worth refinishing. I just sold a model 33, same thing just with standard sights that was all patina, but working for $120. I would say yours is worth $150 as long as theres no bad pitting or stock problems. Its not worth refinishing because for one, the gun's not worth much, and 2, it RARELY adds value to a gun and in many cases, it takes value away. If you like it, and it shoots good and works well, who cares about the finish?
