I'm quite young and don't have the expendable income that i should like to have to invest in fine guns so it depends on the gun and why i want it.
At this stage in life i look for metal work to be un abused or not overly worn.
Lock work that is crisp is a joy to use, worn poorly fitted lock work is functional at best and best avoided.
I accept pretty much anything with regards wood work however metal work should not be overly worn, and should show no sign of repairs, my view being that an acceptable repair is an invisible repair. Ribs preferably sound.
To right on that smell there is a certain smell have found similar smells on old fine furniture.
Obviously all the bores proof status etc and usual stuff most people expect from a gun.
