HD, would you say the maker is well known and usually associated with high quality firearms? If so, BV3. Please remember that BV is value added by the maker's name, not at all a comment on the maker's ability to produce high quality guns. It is necessary to separate quality (OQ) from the name (BV) as most "names" supplied a broad range of quality (best work SLE to farmer grade BLNE).

The key word here, of course, is "KNOWN", and next thing we get to ask is "in what market?" The Gun Digest Book of Gun Values (2011) quotes TsKIB guns at max. $1000-1500, even for their best SLE - apparently the market "thinks" "It's Russian, so it's got to be sort of like Baikal". At the same time, in Russia TsKIB is clearly at least BV3, if not higher, and I know a couple of gun dealers who used to make a living tracking down MC guns in the West and selling them in Russia at anywhere from 5000 to 15000 USD (the plunge of the ruble put an end to this). It would be interesting to do a cross-market comparison of your model.
P.S. As far as a prof. of English as a Second Language teaching at a school of Business can pass judgment over such things, your model and your work on it, if you published them as an academic paper, would get a whole lot of interest and quotations.
