It doesn't appear to have the correct barrel. If you want a ballpark value you'll need to remove the barrel and tell us what the stamps are (should be P over H and a 5 on the side of the lug) Also, if you cock the hammer back, a photo of the stamps under the hammer also assists in determining if it's a parts gun.

Barrel markings should look like this for that serial number range:
If you do not have the P over H barrel, it really does lower the worth quite a bit.
These barrels are very hard to find, and if you do find a decent one, they'll fetch $300-$500 for an original P over H.
