Also unless you are looking to collect this gun not shoot it LNIB is very overrated. The reality is that the biggest market for these guns was the LEO market. Most of the VG to excellent examples I have seen were LNIB in terms of internals. They were carried but never shot.

I would agree. I picked up a VG condition 5903 from gunbroker some time back. It was in great shape and only cost me $400 all said and done (though the alloy frame models can be harder to find). For some reason I don't see the 59 series often around me.
A number of the models I saw on gunbroker looked great and were only $350. Usually the most beat up part is the rubber grip and that can be replaced easily enough.
