It does indeed appear to be an Ace with the bluing stripped off. That kills its value, especially to a collector. So, assuming it works and is complete (iron sights?) and unmolested apart from the metal finish, I’d guess it might be worth up to £125 as a project.

In my opinion, no Ace Sporter (as opposed to the very rare sidelever Ace Target/Pan Target) is worth £500. I’d be surprised if even a genuinely mint boxed one would command more than £350-400.
