if you look at the prices of vintage huntingguns you will soon find out that no ones cares if the guns are original or not.
Probably because there is almost no guns at all that not has been refinished.
Normally in a english auction catalogue you always finds the barrelthickness measurements and that is because the barrels have been polished down and up so many times.
