Guns as Art: Golden gun sold for $65K

golden gunGolden gun sold for $65K - billingsgazette.com I wish I could find a better photo of the engraving, since these things are usually beautiful.
1860 Henry Rifle, factory-engraved with a well-retained gold wash. The left side plate featured an engraved deer chased by a dog and was the focus of the sale collection.
It was the style of the day to have these be beautiful as well as useful.

Bidding started at $25,000 and reached $56,000 in seconds before it closed at $65,000.
