It would be nice to see it.

“Unfired” is a figure of speech - we all know these guns were test fired at the factory. I once owned an “unfired” Parker hammer gun that was so “as new” there were no shell head impact makes on the breech face, the faces of the hammers showed no evidence striking pins, and so on… It was truly as unfired as it could be after it left the factory.
