The cylinder and forcing cone would have powder burn marks that would be visible. You can clean some of it but not all.
Also the guy I bought it from is a very reputable Smith and Wesson collector/dealer.

This is not true and it seems it was all cleaned at some point to where it doesn't show signs of being test fired either.
