What would you guys say to an early steel framed pietta 58 new army, lightly worn bluing on the on the barrel and loading lever (holster wear) and a light turn ring (no gouging) on the cylinder for 100 clams?

Other than the bluing and turn ring the pistol is perfectly functional with good timing and tight lockup.

<EDIT> also, on a side note I've never personally had a '58 before. So this puzzles me a little,in the picture I was sent the frame seems to be color case hardened. I was under the impression the Remingtons should be all blue on the steel framed versions
