I was tempted by one today with a 4" barrel. The seller wanted $429, I offered $275 because there was major bluing issues, I would rate its condition at 80-85%.
It did appear to have the original grips that appeared to be in good condition with silver Colt medallions.
The lock up was tight, further inspection didn't happen as the seller would not go below $350. So I walked
Should I go back with a offer of $300 or just forget about it ?

Thanks jj
