Ah, the key "if you believe the story"! You hit the nail on the head - there is so much to say about all of this, but speculation and possibilities is all we have. I do think it is interesting to note what was available commercially back in the day and assume there were some similarities between, say, the large pink PL Mikado (esp. if you read the descriptions, which sound very much like the PL pink heirlooms that supposedly come from back then)....but I wouldn't want to bet on any of it!
