Ted, I agree on all counts.

It may be a tough comparison to make, but I think if Rocketman applied his formulae to external hammer guns, they would be lower valued than sidelocks, but yet, they have pretty similar requirements for inletting and lock manufacture etc. so it would reflect just the demand in the markets. That said it seems that good quality hammer guns have come up in value a little bit (or gone down less) in recent years. But that may be just my imagination.
