Engraving.A painstaking way to turn weapons into works of art and still keep their primary function: to kill.Pic: two US Smith & Wesson No. 1 Second Issue spur-trigger gold inlaid revolvers.
Although why you would want to carry/dirty/fire a work of art is beyond me. Engraved guns is fine on a mantel and that's all.
Since they are a matching pair, these are obviously dueling pistols.
>>186967I have shot and hunted with very elaborately engraved firearms (though nowhere near as beautiful as the OP pistols) because a gun doomed to rest on a mantle piece is a forlorn thing indeed.They want to fulfill their purpose: to shoot and kill.Pic: a US Colt M1911 .45ACP, engraved & gilded.
As with all weapons. Not trying to be intellectual, but quoting Borges¨The knife sleeps in a drawerdreaming his simple dream of tiger¨
>>187131>They want to fulfill their purpose: to shoot and kill.I think you'll find it's people who want to do that, not pieces of metal.
