Import marks have been a long time marketing tool.
Always has some room for loopholes, some pistols are just rare in number; who really cares about small things on such a perceived rariety.
Collectors like pure originality if they know what that really is; some originality concepts are afterthoughts........... and their 401K aspirations.
Enthusiasts seem to be able to stand a little less originality just for the joy/experience of owning such.
always something for everyone.
