Lyn,
From a collector standpoint, I am unsatisfied with this kind of arduous speculation to explain the phenomenon. It goes against what we understand to be correct, and does not provide support to believe otherwise. Such a gun will always be mismatched, and no amount of wishful speculation will make it otherwise when it comes down to the dollar.
Too bad, too, because Val's example is so spectulacar in every other wise.
