"All serial numbers match (some of the numbers are vibropeened on the bolt) "

That should not be vibropeened IMHO???? though I am not expert on them, in which case I would not touch it with a barge pole. Most of the parts will be serial number stamped if only the last 3 digits, if its not I'd not go near it. Next he's claiming the brass marker indicates it has a great barrel, well a) that was when it was last inspected 30+ years ago and b) they are often forged. Obvious sales pitch to be wary of.
