i think this is a wind up.
if it isnt then you are asking for trouble. you only have the previous owner's word that it has been ridden this way for years without issue, but it is clear to me that the previous owner is happy to talk shite if he says this was caused by a fork and not a heavy front impact.
i recon you are too much of a worrier to be giving the replies you have, and therefore i am calling you bluff and saying this is a wind up
