Dear Tom - in that case you'll just 'lurve' the poor Naval P.08 I caught sight of in Berlin, of all places. A 'special edition, guaranteed one only' [thank God],it was matte-pearlised electroless nickel plated overall in three different shades and fitted with orange/pink coral grips with inlaid cavorting sea-horses. The fitted case was sharkskin ['natch], and it had two matching-coloured magazines, a take down tool and cleaning rod, both similarly finished. The dealer had the affrontery to call this thing a work of art, and was asking DM12500 for it in 1996. Underneath all the crap was a good gun trying to get out, and I just wonder if it was one of Liberace's favourites?
