I think the fact that 10 times more examples of the non-concentric pistol were produced than the concentric version speaks for itself Steve, and shows that the public shared your opinion.

However, collectors can be motivated in many different directions, and for me it is the historical significance that dominates over cosmetic appeal or even shootability, so the two versions of the Highest Possible pistol were equally desirable to me. Probably why a lot of people would not give house room to some of my collection.
