Just one of so many to be so treated (shot), and for much much more heinous reasons.
Reminds me of a saying I once heard - some people are alive only because it's against the law to kill them.
-
that is one ugly gun >:(
-
WHAT THE H$^&** did they do! SHOT? how many times?
-
the engraving on the slide is "puzzling"... ;D
-
Gee, I wonder if it's a mexican pimps gun ?
-
All I can say is
1. It is still a gun;
2. This is proof it is hard to ruin a 1911;
3. Maybe someone that likes Aztec art will actually see this as art;
4. It is one engraved gun I wouldn't be afraid to take out and shoot for fear of wrecking the finish

I'd sell them grips for ammo, and a set of hogue rubber grips like on my RIA

I sort of like the Aztec engraving...of course, I have a tattoo of Quetzalcoatl in his guise as the Plumed Serpent, or Lord of the Air if you prefer, on the inside of my right wrist. Me, I always preferred Flying Dragon, hence the name of my corporate entity, Flying Dragon Ltd. There's an interesting story about me running into a Hopi medicine man out west...but hey, that's a story better related over beer. Quetzalcoatl wasn't a blood god, but I did toss him a silver dime with a drop of my blood on it last time I was on the Pyramid of the Sun outside of Puebla, Mexico. The Pyramid of the Sun is, of course, where Quetzalcoatl fled when he was deposed by the jaguar god Tezcatlipoca...but you all know that, right?
Anyway, I was on the Pyramid of the Sun at the spring equinox, so I found a really deep crevice up at the top, pricked my thumb, smeared an old silver dime I got in Mexico City with the blood and tossed it into the crevice, thanking Quetzalcoatl for my luck and extreme good fortune as the old Hopi had instructed me. The dime bounced once and disappeared...on cue, Popocatepetl Volcano, a few miles away, spewed a spectacular column of ash and smoke into the air. My Sweetie told me to quit messing with ancient gods...

Your Sweetie gave you good advice, Gun guys should not mess with things they can't blow EFFECTIVE holes in :D
but on the flip side you luck still seems good . Myself I lean toward Hephestus and Vulcan, the gods of metal working, when they want a blood sacrafice, they take it in the form of a burr cut or sliver stab, so far I've been lucky, they just throw me an occasional reminder, usually on stainless steel. (lots of bandages, no stiches, yet.)

Wow, Michael! All that and about $3.75 will get you a no-frills cup-o-joe at Starbucks.

I've seen worse. The Smith and Wessons that Tiffany's did for that Worlds Fair was really bizare
-
I kinda like it. Especially those Gold Pimp grips. I probably wouldn't OWN one, but I think it looks cool.
-
Wait until the BIG Q comes back...best dime I ever spent!
mb
-
I'd be afraid of the gun whipped up for Huitzilpoctli, the Flayed God...
Still, it does have a certain movie gun charm to it.
-
Well its a .38 super what do you expect, probably owned by some Mexican general or politician. Starting bid 7000.00 Its fugly, but Id take it. ;D
-
Never did like fancy guns. Blued or brushed stainless, though my favorite is Browned.
Heck, my favorite car color is primer grey! ;D

It looks like something that queer looking pyramid flying guy from the Stargate movie might be packin in his silk paddle rig.

Wrong Pyramid folks.
Hmm, maybe one patterned after Anubis...
