How do I know what? "How do I know that it was an Art Asylum pistol?" Because we know the differences between the actual props and AA's recreation. Or was that more of a philosophical question, as in "How dare I have access to studio sources that you yourself don't?"

There are pics of the actual prop available, and of course comparison shots of the AA toy. The differences are slight but cumulatively they become quite noticeable. The truth is, screen-used props are often rough and ready affairs that don't stand up to close scrutiny; this, on the other hand, is in plain view and thanks to the moracle of screen-capturing can be closely examined. And it's definitely an AA.

Well, only inasmuch as it's round. The walls don't have stations on them, though.
I was impressed by the fact that both the Vulcans (or at least the High Command office) and the Romulans use clear control panels. Nice touch.
But, the Warflea's warp system being so different than the Dominion-esque nacelles from those Romulan minefield ships is a concern, given that it was claimed to be a modified Warbird. Then again, given that there wasn't a trace of crew quarters and such, I'd say we can postulate that "modified" is a term that says mouthfuls in this case.

I don't think we know what a Romulan Warbird from this era looks like. The one we've seen before has been referred to as a Bird of Prey, but even that's conjecture. So who's to say exactly how much modification was done?

Yes. Maybe if you strip everything off of a Romulan TNG-era bird, all you have left is a cockroach with an outhouse sitting on top.
As for the bridge, I don't see any real resemblance or recyclage of other sets besides elements of Nemesis (and even that might be questionable, despite the logos). However, it IS interesting to note that all the consoles faced inwards, as on the TOS bird...

Although it doesn't really stand up to close scrutiny, the flea does sort of look like it could be the forward 'head' section on a Warbird.
