I saw pics on www.shootersforum.com about 4 years ago of 2 Engraved Browning Highpowers with gold plating, and one Monogramed Pearl grips with his initials that were taken from his palace. They were fine looking firearms! I wish they hadn't deleted those pics from that site.

There was at least one gold-plated MP5, too - an SD version, if memory serves...

I think I must be a little gaudy due to the fact that I seem to be the only one craving a gold plated AK now. :-[
Oh how cool it/I would be showing up to a three gun match, pin match, 100yd. match for groups.... where ever and pulling out that BLING!!!!! Yup I could see it now the boys envious the chicks in AWE of my mighty pimp-like boom stick. No Need for the clear shooting glasses, tinted is a must.

No way is your buddy going to "accidently" take your mags. No mistake there,"are you sure you marked yours???"  OOOOH YEAH! Awsome gun/mouse trap all in one. MUST HAVE! ;)

I'm just the opposite.  I don't think there is anything better looking than a browned gun, especially if it was browned due to age.

I just checked Duracoat's website, and they do have gold, but it don't look as good as that gun.
