Import marks?

Hi Chris,
Ask yourself, if you had to choose between two identical guns, one with an importer's mark, and one without, which one would you choose? The fact is that an import mark on a common variety like your P38 would have a severe effect on it's value, to put it another way, no collector would want anything to do with it. If, on the other hand, it was a really rare variation, then the negative effect, while still present, would be much less.
