"Many" collectors do value papers that are numbered to the pistol; at the least legit papers help a "for sale" pistol stand out.
Not valuing papers because they have been faked or counterfeited is kind of like not taking US dollars because some are "fake". JMHO.
European papers are fairly plentiful, papers from the PTO seem to be scarcer.
