One To Make George Cry...
Thought George Anderson would get a kick out of this one :

too much engraving, I like a light acorn engraving, otherwise it looks austetacious (sp).
The grips are a nice touch, although why does it ahve a nazi eagle on a WW1 piece? Ed

The grips are pretty neat and not as audacious as the engraving on the pistol.
I once thought of setting up the Virginia Museum of Bad Taste, we were going to concentrate on yard ornaments. I think now that a Firearms Wing would have been quite popular also. |

If someone is starting Engraving For Dummies lessons.. using some old scrap metal instead of a LP08 would probably be a good idea
G.A, the Bad Taste museum sounds like a great idea! Every city should have one.
