Nate, the gun is a P grade (grade 1) with blued twist steel barrels. The number 1 size frame has been recase colored, likely by the cyanide process but it looks pretty good considering.
I agree there has been something going on with the top rib, possibly resoldered, being the rib and the rib extension are not aligned. It appears someone removed the (Twist) barrel steel marking (and part of the matting) before the reblue. I’d have it checked by a competent gunsmith to determine if it was hot blued which could loosen the rib soldering over time.
You didn’t mention gauge and I don’t have the ID & Serialization book handy, so it could be 20, 16 or 12. The gauge would factor into the value.
If the gun checks out as solid it could be a good shooter but have little real collector value.
