Maybe we are looking at these "pimp" guns incorrectly.
If these folks are a real historical society (and they appear to be from their web site and mission statement), maybe this is their way of getting rich philantropists (spelling...?) to "donate" some money to their cause and the patron gets a nice tax write-off (if the society is a non-profit foundation), and the patron gets a little "vanity" souvenir as well...
