VERY NICE, but probably way too rich for my blood......

No... it was "sold when I got to it.

Anyone venture a guess?

I'll say the parts alone were probably $350-400.

Sooooooooo.......

$1250

Yeah, same here. It was already sold when I saw it.

I've got a subscription to their archive, but it probably isn't posted yet. My guess is $2000 to $2500, because of the extensive scrollwork. If it is lower than that someone got a deal.

This pistol sold for $1899 and is much less ornate:

Show us. Don't claim to have bought such a beauty unless you actually have. We take a dim view of braggarts about here.

And if you did buy it, more pictures mate, closeups of the carving and tang areas.

So, also, how much (ballpark)? We have a wager going here.
