1920 reworks, like Broomhandles are not concidered collectables by some collectors who concider anything that is not now as it was when it left the factory.
Many collectors prefer something with History (Isn't that why we collect). A 100 percent gun, bluing and numbers will always be the most valuable, but historically it probably would have little to tell, if it could talk. That is why the upsurge in the interest in guns in lesser condition, or with legit reworks, bring back papers (collectors used to not worry about such things)
This is true with other things, Hot rods are worth more now than original cars, cars with a patina, true barn finds are popular.
The same trend with guns. Including dug up relics. Some swear against them, as if they all came from grave robbing. then all archeology is grave robbing. Many of thesesame people complain if you have a German pistol, Helmet or belt buckle, wouldn't if it were a tokarev. IMHO, Jim
