"test fired only" really means: The gun store owner has taken it hunting for only one season.

Rare. One of a kind. Truth there are thousands in far better shape which are not listed for sale at five times full retail price.
Refinished. Means half a bottle of Trueoil slopped over wood and metal alike.
Might want to have a gunsmith look at it before you shoot it. This is so it is easier to make a positive identity of the body. "Yeah that looks like most of the guy who had that gun. Told him I would never put a shell in it. Best to use as a stake for tomatoes. Must have got a second opinion."
Small crack in stock. Translation it looks like a car windshield after a cement block tossed into it.
Minor pitting translates into a perfect 3-D map of the Grand Canyon.
After market engraving, upgrade engraving, amateur engraving all denote scratches, gouges and dents put in by Chimp on LSD under going physical therapy. Best viewed while using LSD to see all the art and detail.

"full professional restoration"

"Turnbull restoration"
means any actual re-color casehardened gun.

The story I really enjoy is "Was owned by a Pilot, Sheriff, Doctor, Preacher and so on. Then the guns owned by famous Hunters, Military Officers, CIA Officers, or Writers, or very rarely all of these. For example, awhile back I came across a nice Huskqvanar hammer gun at the SCI show in Dallas, that had a tag on it the said "Formerly Owned By Larry Brown", I asked the how much he would discount on that account, he said at least 500 bucks.

Diana must have bathed with it, or Bacchus pissed it on it one. Maybe both ?
