Some publicity sheets from a Master Gun Maker in Bordeaux that I thought might interest!

Equisite workmanship indeed.

However beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is well over the top for my taste.

Subtlety and understament always differentiates art from craft.

My own preference - if I ever had the dosh - would be for plain, polished lock plates.

I love to visit the shop here and watch the guys working. He buys his actions and barrels rough from Italy and finishes them including the engraving. The stocks are French walnut. I am not sure where he has his leather cases made for him.

Museum pieces

The bottom one says "all options possible" if I'm reading it right. Guess that would mean a full time security guard. Not guns for the back of the closet next to the shoes for sure.

I'd imagine if you had to ask the price you couldn't afford one anyway.
