They run $250-ish on the auction sites plus shipping.  I gave $270 for mine at a local shop.  Like it better than the Rugers for full house loads.

Lowest price I ever saw was at a gun show for $250 with a SEVERELY eroded throat in 45 Colt.  Had to walk away from that one.

As to the bottom of the grip frame, they all have printing.  Don't remember what mine has or if it adds anything.  These don't appear to be collector pieces.  

Enjoy your fine gun!  - Zcarp2

DSCP-

These guns, in the later runs, were made in Alexandria, Virginia. "Sic Semper Tyrannis" is the Virginia state motto found on the state flag. The flag shows a victor standing over a fallen tyrant; the motto translates to "Thus ever to tyrants".

That's about the only Latin I know!
