refinishing will also lower value to a collector (judging from what ive read on here, im no pro)

If it's already pitted, it's not going to have much collector value.
Not much beats a Detective Special, so if I found a beater at a good price, I'd either figure it's a beater to shoot a lot, or send it to Colt.

Mine new colt
My new colt looks exactly like yours but is blued and the finish looks extremely new except for two little Knicks. That's factory right?? I paid $ 500 bucks I hope I got a good deal. According to the serial 46600 or so it was made in 65 I believe. I would post a picture but I'm not sure how

You may want to talk with Ford's Refinishing. If you want to spend the dollars, they can restore it to better than new.
You will never get the money back, but you will have a one-of-kind gun.
