Please don't bid on them, fellas. They're a dead match for the rifle I'm building and I just hafta have matching pistols!

 

[bob1961]

P.S....fer half the price of course finn....

I wonder if they would let us shoot them first before we start bidding... :hmm:

 

[Mulebrain]

I like them, but way to fancy for my taste! Some of them get to the point of being gaudy, so I will have to pass on this pair.

 

[musketman]

I don't know, it does have a cracked ivory ramrod tip... :hmm:

Can't justify the cost with a cracked tip...

I'll give a $1.50 for the pair of them, not a penny more...

Yeah...that's it...ordinarily I'd buy them, but that's the reason I won't

Exceptional detail and specimen's!! :thumbsup:

Although, for 250K you would think they would toss in a case. Not another 16.5K for the box?

A few nice one's here also:

True, but when it comes right down to it, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them...

They speak highly of the craftsmanship of the day, but how do they shoot?

I wonder if they have ever been shot at all?

 

[Tahquamenon]

If I had a pile of money big enough to spend on those pistols, I would shoot them.

:thumbsup:

If I found these at a garage sale, they would be down the road in no time! I would rather have a full size cannon, and other guns!

They just don't do much for me! I guess I like things more plain, and used.

I see a gun as something to be used, carried, shot, etc. This is artwork in the shape of a gun. It rather reminds me of the $1M bejeweled hockey puck I saw once, or the lingerie that is covered in diamonds. Yeah it's pretty, but what can you do with it?

It is, however, beautiful without a doubt. No question here.

 

[Gordon Horn]

Theres only ONE THING that keeps me frrom biddin' on em'.

 

[Zonie]

Isn't it amazing what detail some of those die cast decorators have? And those die cast plastic stocks are a dead giveaway. Real wood doesn't like to be carved that finely.
Even so, if I didn't know better, I might think they were actually real guns!

If you buy one of these, don't drill the touch hole in side of the pot metal barrel. It would be dangerous.

Obviously the person typeing the numbers has a rather pronounced nervous condition. His finger kept hitting the zero after he entered $25.00 so it just looks like $250000.

 

[hammerman]

Great Googly-Moogly!! I couldn't spend that much on ANYTHING!! My heart would give out!

They are kinda pretty........inna strange frenchy kinda way :youcrazy:

 

[DRC]

But they don't have any flints.
