Okay, I have some questions:

Assuming the pistol has been misidentified for years, but also assuming that at least some of them are legitimate DWM creations, would the relative rarity of this variation still result in it being a very desirable collector's item?

In other words, in terms of collector desirability, can one expect that it is still just as valuable as it was when it was misidentified?

If there were just as many legitimate "Russian Lugers" as there are now "Model 1908 Bulgarian Infantry Officer's Model Lugers" is it reasonable that the collector value is still the same?

In my opinion, if you can overlook the issue of whether it is Russian or Bulgarian, everything else is still the same; i.e., it is still exotic; it is still rare; a few of them seem to be authentic; and, very few of them are in decent condition.

It would seem to me that all these factors would indicate that the value has not changed, and that only the name has changed.

Does this sound "far fetched"?

Thanks,
