I’m not into collecting guns but maybe someone else out there is. Even if I were into collecting guns the sales price on these wouldn’t pass the wife test. And even worse—they don’t even shoot!
I do admire the mechanics though. That is very impressive.

Whoa, thos are pretty incredible.
Mechanically that is freaking AWESOME. There’s no way I would ever pay that, but that is down right impressive.
Yeah. I was deliberately understating things a little bit.
Those will make a fantastic investment for someone. I notice they are selling at Christies Hong Kong auction. That’s where all the heavy hitter watch collectors are these days — Hong Kong. Someone is really going to love them.
Pretty neat. I’ll be turning over the couch cushions to look for some spare change. There might be $5M in there if I look hard enough. Should I bring them to the next NRA meeting so you can play with them?
Umm, if they don’t shoot, did they ever? If they never were able to shoot, are they in fact guns, or merely incredibly expensive objets-d’Art?
Eh… Those are “for the birds” (heh heh heh…)
I just found these on the Christies website. They already sold. The final price was $5,866,499.
That’s incredible. They aren’t guns, though. They are detailed clockwork toys.
