Andy - The learning curve isn’t necessarily steep, depending on how you want to learn. If you want to learn quickly you’re going to miss a lot of the subtleties that go into the final equation of whet constitutes originality vs a really good re-do. There are a number of things to look for but sometimes they just hint or whisper to you.
I don’t claim to be an expert but, like you said, I have looked at a LOT ( many hundreds) of guns and in time the ability to know what you’re looking at will come easily - but sometimes I still question my own opinion.
Thanks for the kind words of confidence.
