Hello everybody and thank you for your time.
I have created a keleshite bard (archaeologist) for my upcoming Mummy's Mask campaign. I wanted him to wield a scimitar, so I gave him the Heirloom Weapon equipment trait, choosing the variant which gives the character the proficiency with a specific weapon. My idea was to enchant that specific scimitar with the spell masterwork transformation in the future, so I can further enchant the weapon without losing the proficiency. Now I'm asking, is that a legal strategy? Won't the spell make the weapon a different one, thus making me lose the proficiency?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Or use 'Chosen Child' or 'Rich Parents' to start with 900 gp and buy a masterwork scimitar for your heirloom weapon?
That wouldn't be the same. My character's parent are not rich, and he doesn't come from a region which would justify the Chosen Child trait. He is a native of Osirion, an orphan, and that scimitar would be the only thing he has which belonged to his father.
I think the spell works without issue.

Yeah, this is a well-known trick.
It's a way to get a weapon proficiency out of a "mere trait", but let's be honest, Weapon Proficiency (something martial) would rarely be worth an actual whole feat normally. So it's nothing to be up in arms about.
I think we can.. disarm... any controversy about it.
