I think the price is too high but if your wife likes it and will shoot it then buy it and consider yourself a lucky man indeed!
The swivels can be removed and screw holes repaired by a competent double-gunsmith. Brad Bachelder removed and repaired the holes in the bottom rib of the LC Smith Chain Damascus 10 gauge in the album at:

You might consider leaving the swivels and finding a nice European type sling for the gun. Your wife might appreciate being able to sling the gun over her shoulder as the two of you walk hand in hand back to your hunting truck...
