I think you summed it up. This looks "tarted" up, not re done.
For some reason the bluing just seems wrong to me, too shiny. I thought these guns had that dull blue or blacking so typical of English guns.
For sure 500. Way too "bright". Suprisingly the photos don't seem to show that it underwent a wheel, but is indeed shiny. Sometime on the bench with contouring stones and someones hands and shoulders besides mine would do wonders for the metal on this.
Chemical stripper down to the "bone" maybe the only hope for the wood. Then a few weeks of ochre and slaccum.........
