Interesting Use And Abuse

This is a French Bertheir M1907-15 rifle that was modified to take a German sling during the occupation of France from 1940-1944. It also has a brass repair on the grip. Now, do these attributes make it less desirable because it isn't an original condition specimen or do they make it more desirable because of the history to it? In my opinion, it is more interesting and certainly more desirable.
