You argument is NOT flawed but 100% correct re Merkel / Rigby's.

To be honest, I think the people who bought "Rigby" the name thought
they could sell them on the name alone - based on the fact that US buyers
used to buy DR's etc on name alone - however I think there timing was
flawed in that the market became very educated and as an example,
US buyers now realise that just because it says Army and Navy
does not mean it's no good as they now see it as a long bar Webley
(PHV1 or Screw Grip).
