This has been an interesting post. There are many criteria for the term "desirability". It is first and foremost what appeals to a particular individual. This is whether it's the most collectible or the most pleasing to look at or has the best workmanship or is the most efficient hunting tool or is the best value for the money or whatever appeals to that individual. Differences of opinion are what make this forum and life in general interesting. Keep up the good work, guys! Just my opinion, David
