There are not enough 'restorers'...and being one who likes to try different things, I like to see others efforts in this area...It gives me more new ideas...

I read some posts on Yahoo Financial's SLV message board and noticed many players there being gun players as well. That's interesting. If cast 1/2 (or 1/4, or 1/6) size Luger, Mauser, Browning, Colt etc "icon pistols" in solid silver, I bet that's easier to sell than those boring "silver rounds", and can charge higher premium over spot price. Weird enough, no dealer does that.

Making high quality semi-precious "jewelry" in gun shape. Better business than gun restoration.

OK, I think I know what you mean now...I have seen silver/gold 'razor blade' necklaces, also 'dog tag' [military] necklaces, for big bucks...

1/2 or 1/3 or 1/6 size might be difficult...You wouldn't be able to mold an existing piece...You'd have to make the mold yourself, artistically...Or make a model and make the mold from that...

If you had a pantograph milling machine, you could do it...And had the gun to replicate too, of course...

...No interest here...

What I believe he is trying to say is that there are gun people buying silver, and that if you were to cast the silver into gun shapes rather than round coins or ingots you could get more out of them than the silver is actually worth. Selling them to gun people of course would also make them sell better than round coins or ingots. I know of a couple of local silver and gold dealers I wonder if they could be talked into that.
