I think refretting and neck resets are facts of life for instruments of a certain age. If I was selling a guitar with what I thought were original frets I might disclose that - but honestly, how would you tell if they were truly original? If I had done a neck reset and a refret on an old guitar, I would disclose that as selling points. But to think that you can certify any 50, 60 year, or even older, guitar as "100% original" is sheer folly.
