Looks like a UK II to me. I am not an expert on them, but I am the proud owner of one. Looks pretty stock to me. As far as the ser. #'s being scratched off, some one did some pretty hard scratching if they got them off the neck plate. Pickups are stock UK II. I doubt it will go for $800.
Just my $.02's.
In my neck of the woods, "checkered past" means there are some things not so good in the past.

Location: Waurika OK | Boy, can we speculate on this one! I just noticed "no shipping, will arrange for local pickup", isn't there something about shipping "hot" goods across state lines?
