Just a personal opinion, if the gun and design has any historical significance, I would prefer it be the original. The correct manufacturer and native country of origin. Beretta 92- I would like it to say Beretta, made in Italy on it. 1911, I would prefer a Colt from the US; Remington (I know it isn't Remington Rand but the name gets me) would be desirable too. Hi Power- FN or Browning, made in Belgium. CZ 75 type- CZ, made in Czechoslovakia.

Reality and price do make a difference; my Beretta is made in the US, my 1911 is Turkish, my Hi Power is Hungarian (with an Israeli on the way). I do have the Czech pistol, though.
