Excuse my ignorance with this question... But how does one know that this is accurate?
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.
