Best give an expert a ring and ask them, lots of people selling gearboxes say "shifts ok by hand" but you'd expect it to if all is being done is the input shaft is being turned by hand. Some people selling toploaders offer to remove the lid so you can have a look inside, nice idea, but I wouldn't know what to look for aside from obvious broken/chipped parts.

EDIT: Norm that doesn't look like a factory shifter to me..?
