I remember shows in the 50s and 60s. Krieghoffs were considered as premium for some obscure reason and Simson Suhl's were seen mostly as just an odd variation.
Unit markings were considered as detractions and BYF 41s were considered cheapo last ditch specimens that nobody wanted. Hence the resulting marketing ploy "Black Widow".
Funny to see the changes.
