Regarding non-Bannerman + non 'GERMANY'....

Nowadays, so many collectors asking the question "Does the 'GERMANY' stamp on the gun affect its value?"..... When did Americans start hating "import marks"..... could it be as early as 1900? If Tauscher had a chance to import some guns to the US commercial gun market without 'GERMANY', could he demand higher price? Or, is import mark negative only recently?
