Rowena's wares are a very real thing IC, and we've even seen changes to her area BECAUSE of her dealings with the players. Yes the Drachen mail has special powers, but at this time that doesn't stop people from make replicas as we've seen in regards to Rowena's wares.
There's a dev post on equipment and lore that goes into this a little. Darklight gear, for instance, may be replicas, given "the sheer quantity she [Rowena] seems to possess."
Personally, I think it's safe to assume -- or at least say -- that any gear you buy with tomestones are either well-made replicas or restorations in the style of those legendary pieces of equipment.
My thanks for the link!
