Never mind. Let's return to topic.

In short, the staple mark being a tellmark or not depends on overall condition context. On worn items, lacking of staple mark tells reblue. Those reblued items usually have many signs, not only one. On well preserved ones, it's not necessarily being a tellmark. Case by case. There are some guns were not fired more than postwar Interarms Luger, not used or very lightly used. Depends on your vision and habit, some people love those unused gun, some people feel that's boring lacking of history usage etc and love worn guns. Personally, both types work for me, but I love mint gun in worn gun's price, and worn gun is acceptable too if it's an interesting one Usually not available every month, but you can almost always find people selling items greatly undervalue every year. No kidding.
