Debating a Smith Corona 1903A3 Purchase

[JeffreyJ5]

Hello, All! I'm looking for some guidance on a potential purchase. Namely, I'm looking for some opinions on the price.

Smith Corona M1903A3 w/ 6 Groove Barrel. Dated January 1943. Also comes with an M1905 Bayonet shortened to M1 Bayonet specifications.

I understand the six-groove barrels were only installed for a couple of months and were originally manufactured by High Standard. All the markings on the gun and the finish leads me to believe these are all original components. The stock appears to *maybe* have been cleaned/lightly sanded due to the worn stamps on the side, but I'm not entirely sure.

Shop is asking $1,500. Thoughts?
