True. It could be nothing more than a simple precautionary re-proof. Usually simple to tell from photos of the barrel flats and water table. Seems to me this whole discussion hinges on the answer. It's worth substantially more with original barrels in sound condition than with sleeved or replacement barrels by someone other than the original maker.
