Any firearm experts here? (specifically sig)?

Bought a pre-owned safe queen that the owner claimed he never fired and was the original owner. Got it yesterday and I think "never been fired" must mean put a few clips through it. Gun is VERY clean, and looks great, but it appears the outside of the barrel shows signs of it being fired. My FFL, who isn't an expert agrees with my assumption. I wanted to get another opinion before emailing the seller. Of course, buyer beware always comes into play when buying anything "used."

My other sig, which has been fired countless times has MUCH more of the finish on the outside of the barrel worn off, but to me this doesn't look like something that the barrel would get from just taking the firearm down and putting it back together.
