I'm quite new to S&W revolvers. Could you explain how/why it's fake?

I've been watching -4 and older 686's on gunbroker for a couple weeks. Most are selling below $700. The only ones selling for more are the Lew Hortons and the occasional ones that pop up in excellent condition with box/papers. I just got a -4 for 580, the 10 or so I bid on prior were closer...

Thanks again Gunhacker!

Didn't offend me, if that's what you think. Numrich eased my mind on the parts problem. The actual gun is from gunbroker, I was being a bit paranoid and lowering competition

Well that settles it then. Thank you Gunhacker

Found a 686-4 for sale that has a chip in the barrel where the cylinder meets up. Seeing what it would cost to replace. Unsure if it would be an issue or just me being bugged by it, so better safe than sorry. ETA: Not a gunsmith, never heard of a Numrich. Also new to revolvers, so there is...
