Can anyone help determine condition?

Age? really? I've got guns almost 150 years old and I still shoot them. It takes tens of thousands of rounds to wear out a quality pistol, I wouldn't worry about it as the gun still looks fresh.

Heh - I've got a SA 1911 that has easily 70,000 rounds of LSWC through it, and still shoots straight and functions just fine.

Rock Island has a good reputation. why, specifically, are you concerned with their description here?

they under describe and under estimate.

I have a 1944 M1 Carbine but I have no idea how many rounds have been put through it. I have owned it for over thirty years and it has never failed to function properly.
I have three S&W N-frames (1964, 1968 and 1973) that I bought from Martin B. Retting in 1997. They each shoot as well as they did when I first got them.
Unless they are abused, quality made firearms will outlive their owners.

Is there visible sign of "idiot scatch"?

Petty cosmetic imperfection but a deal breaker for what seems a lot of CGers.
