I believe that all that could legally be made from the original design, have been made.

Wonder if a variation in material or dimensions would be legal?

Occasionally, one of the COL's pattern may pop up on the market, I suppose.

My instinct tells me the first smatchet shown could be very rare. If i directed the attention of one of my expert collectors there, I think the auction would be over, he'd snag it. The price on the second one, reserve at 400 dollars is also very good. Anyone here who wants to collect something very rare should look at the first two. Interesting. Edited to ad, the first one is a steal anywhere near or above double the reserve price.
