Do you want concours condition?

Age and previous use can be important here. Aluminium has a certain number of cycles to failure as does stainless steel.

Do make sure that mast and rigging are in a serviceable condition by engaging a reputable surveyor.

If you can find a mast maker or rigger with lots of experience I'd suggest discussing what you want with them.
