Seeking Artillery

A couple questions for everyone...

1.) What should make me suspicious? It's sometimes difficult to judge a gun through online auction photos, which I suppose is a red flag in of itself. Aside from mismatching blue or straw, the near perfection of blue, lack of detail, scrutiny of proofs, etc., what are some things I should look for or be on the lookout for?

2.) Similarly, If you had to describe a unique, rare, or valuable feature what would it be? I'm referring to anything which might subtly render an ordinary gun extraordinary.

Not a spring chicken, but not advanced either. Why the advice is appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Tim
