No, they are not "new" - simply reworked from 50 year old carcasses :). It is not difficult to take the top plate off and have it refinished - sanding, painting followed by engraving.
"As new", "Shutter speeds are appropriate", "Mint!!"....these are familiar phrases from Russian/Ukrainian sellers. How good the actuall item is depends on your luck. I have several cracker condition ones cosmetically, but mechanically they were about 90%.
