I've bought guns which I assumed had been refurbished only to find they were in fact high conditional guns with original finish. That was a pleasant thing. I did have one gun I sold that was original that was listed as refinished. A fast call to the auction house got that fixed to some degree. They changed the description to state possible original condition. In hind sight I should have had them pull the item if they would not properly state what it was. Live and learn and one hard to learn lesson is that people who you assume know what they are doing for a living should be good at it. Some are but some are just one step above novice pretending to be an expert.
