Default Unfired....new in box....factory old stock....How do you tell????

Well FINALLY my "factory new old stock" 13-1 is being shipped to me. The shock of buying it has now worn off but there is a 3 day inspection period and I want to know what to look for. I'm still new to S&Ws having only been collecting them for about 2 months now, I turn to you guys to tell me what to look for.

The color cased trigger and hammer are advertised in "like new" condition so obviously I would look there for drag marks I'd think. Where else should I look to know if it has been fired before or not (by the owner, not factory)? Basically what do I look for to know if it is in fact unfired or if it's just been fired a box full of times?
