Your English is not bad at all!
Indeed, Kopeliades was another top-notch Greek luthier of yesteryear, and some of his instruments have ended up in museums. Some are featured in Anogianakis' beautifully illustrated book, which I suspect you have in your library, as I do in mine.
I am also familiar with some bouzoukis from the shop of Zozef (Terzivassian), but not the ebony-bowled one you mention. You are absolutely right about walnut baglamades being common (I have one, in fact ) Sotirios Bras (among others) does make some ebony-bowled ones, as his "higher end" instruments. You are also right: the really cheap baglamades sold at tourist-traps in Monastiraki seem like they're made of... cork!
So... bendable ebony. You learn something every day...
Cheers,
Victor
