Once you learn what to look for you will spot the tells immediately. For me it was the case color/metal finish wasn’t right.

Out of curiosity,  what is the asking price on this gun?

  

$7k plus was asking.  

  

 A first model with that much case if original and lettered would be 20k. It’s Christmas only once a year. T/R

Here is an 1887 vintage round barrel 1873 with worn and faded case hardened finish.

Here’s another example of mine for comparison from 1883, also round barrel and 1/2 mag. Fairly strong case colors on this one.
