I sure wouldn't trust any dealer that's across an ocean from me.....you'll be stuck with what ever you buy.

Fact is most all vintage gun dealers will try to get by with what they can....

What's it matter if it takes the average jOe 6 months for one of his buddies at the gun club to spot a major screw up ?

Last British chap of a gun dealer I talked to was going to measure the depth of the pits inside the barrel of the gun in question...until I told him he was full of British chit.
