I'm still of the notion that the only thing that makes this A1-Special "the Czar's gun" is some imaginative marketing by Wilber to move a gun they were unable to deliver to the Russian diplomat who ordered it.

I'm sure the person who bought it from Wilbur didn't pay a huge premium for it's provenance like Jack did.

Am I correct in remembering that it was sold at Abercrombie and Fitch, not sold by Wilbur?
