Ray, yours is a fine A grade, possibly a B, but its hard to get a finely engraved gun to hold and show case colors well. The best photos are taken outside on a cloudy day or early in the morning or late afternoon, no direct sun, no flash. The best show of case colors really comes from a V grade.
Obviously its your decision about what to do, but there is some value in collector community consensus, and maybe post photos of the gun you are considering having re case colored?
I had somewhat of this same conversation with Brad Bachelder, and you might see what he says to you.
