The difference in price/valuation rests primarily in the collector interest in N-95s made before the 1917 Revolution. Pieces with Czarist Imperial markings run in the 300 to 400 dollar range because of collectibility. Pieces from the mid 1920's to the late 1930's with CCCP marking are second in collector interest - all others are of third interest and value. I don't believe that accuracy of the piece really enters into the equation. Our shop has sold about 400 of these in the past 10 years or so - and the ones that have generated the most interest are the pre 1918 and pre 1900 pieces.
