Corrupted SAA Artillery

I have this US marked SAA with mixed 5 digit numbers except TG which is 3 digit. Stripped of finish like a cleaned 'ole brown gun'. Markings clear enough to read without imagination. Barrel is modern 5 1/2" but it has (loose) its artillery barrel cut to 4 3/4" and attempt to put a sight on it. Grip is believable modern made one piece. Action works properly. I think someone used it as a shooter as it came with a modern cylinder in it.
I bought it because I thought it was cheap. Any comments, guestimates, etc as to probable sale value will be appreciated. Thanks

Being an antique is a plus, too, since you can send it directly to the purchaser. I would start it off around $500 - $600 and let the market do its job. You just may be surprised at the final bid.
The modern cylinder is now removed but on hand. The modern barrel is installed.
I see SAAs that look a lot worse priced at over a mille. Thanks again.
I see I wasn't clear in my post. It has its original artillery cylinder in now and I have its artillery barrel (cut off) with it but removed. Grips as I said are modern made one piece but look believable.

Pictures would help. We could only go on your description.
