Reproductions and value deterioration?

This question occurred to me while reading the discussion about the reproduction Test Eagle holsters http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=14587. This is a real question, I am not doing this to make a value judgement or cast aspersions on the activities of anyone involved.

During a phone conversation last weekend I was informed that the blueprint-perfect copies of the Aberman .45 Luger currently in production, have seriously adversly affected the value of that gun (and presumably the Norton .45, as well).

Why is it, I wonder, that the pattern-perfect copies of the 1900 Test Eagle holsters have not appeared to have a similar effect on the originals?
