As I must've said 50 times by now (probably a few of them to you), only equipped items are networked to clients, which gimps this considerably - even if you could look up a valid itemid from another source, the clients wouldn't have it so it wouldn't be made visible.
However, it does sound like we could now fake all items as being dropped ones bypassing those checks completely if that is currently working with manually-created weapons (why it doesn't check the item is valid in the original owner's inventory I do not know, and that sounds like a trivially easy fix for Valve to make). Who knows if that is actually a good idea however.
