THIS SORT OF DAMMAGE IS PART OF THE WEAPONS HISTORY AND ADDS A DIMENSION OF ACTUAL USE FOR CONSIDERATION. IT MAKES US WONDER WHO WON AND WHO LOST OR IF THEY SURVIVED. THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO FAKE THESE TYPES OF DAMMAGE AS IT REDUCES THE VALUE RATHER THAN INCREASES IT.
I LIKE IT IN MOST CASES IF IT HAS NOT DESTROYED THE ITEM. ON THE OTHER HAND SEEING AN ITEM THAT IS DAMMAGED USING A GRINDER OR TRYING TO HACK A GUN BARREL IN HALF IS PART OF ITS HISTORY BUT ONLY MAKES ME SAD.
