I met a few collectors who do not care much on C96 condition, because they collect guns of Chinese provenance. Many guns lost blue, could be mismatched, bore,,, well, at least one guy told me that he did not even look into the bore. They won't refinish nor reline those guns either. The cost is the initial acquiring cost, that's it. On certain degree, I agree, those C96s represent a special category, and could be enjoyable.
