The gun is a DH grade (grade 3 hammerless).
And you are correct. None of the finishes are original, or correct. The barrels are re-blued, the frame has been buffed. The engine turning (jeweling) on the frame and barrels are not correct in any way. And the wood on the gun is not factory original (aftermarket replacements not of proper form or from the proper species of wood).
As far as value, it would be pretty low compared to unaltered examples. Maybe $500-700 to most who know what they are looking at. But if it goes bang and breaks targets, there is some value in that.
