Looking for advice/opinions on old repair safety.

First things first, I do plan on taking this to a gunsmith if I end up purchasing it.

I’m looking at what I believe to be a Belgian copy of a French MLE 1842. My main concern is with the brazing around the nipple area. Would this type of repair guarantee the gun is unshootable? Seller is asking a couple hundred bucks.
