Christies recently held an auction for a pair of matching “Singing Bird Pistols”, they sold for $5.8 Million Dollars. Taking into consideration that they were made in the 1820’s (190 years ago) I am in awe of the mechanics and craftsmanship to pull something like this off. The fact that they are still working and in excellent condition- this is pretty much mind blowing:
(Note: This is also a solid example of how excellent macro photography and videography can help sell a product.)
Amazing what people will pay for "stuff" 🙁 The mechanics are pretty cool – someone has way too much money though 😮
That is so amazing! where is the +1 button?

Not much of a gun fan.. but those are beautiful!
