Default Rarest...?
Could be a historically important gun, like General Pattons RM. Or some strange "one off" production gun.

Many, many levels of RARE.

Goering must have had a lot of 'em. Seems like every gunshow I attend somebody's selling one of those and one of Hitler's Lugers from the Eagle's Nest...
