Saw this little gem today on Cleveland gun trader. Quite a piece... I would share the other engraving but probably not appropriate. Lol.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/21/a1156d8a438ac2ac20fb1c7978569bcd.jpg

Definitely want to wear a rubber glove when taking that one out for a spin. I guess I'll be the first one to mention the short barrel length.

NOT going to post the pictures...but...

This erotic 1911, featuring satyrs, nude women and cupids? was done by a world famous engraver, Linton McKenzie. Even the mag is engraved.

Because he used scenes from classic art I guess it's is supposedly higher class than the revolver?

They aren't kids. They are cherubs. The carving are of mythical beings, cherubs, sintars and probably a godess. Think Puck from Shakespere.

It must be satyrs, nymphs and putti. Putti are similar to cherubs, sometimes winged, sometimes not. Cherubs are angels, putti (such as Cupid) are not.

This^^^! art? Yeah right, let's depict kids in sexual behavior and pass it as art... For someone not into religion like myself they look like infants, period.

(Edited: BOY DID I HAVE A MOMENT HERE! LOL) How about I gut someone and chop off their penis, take pictures, embellish it and I call it art, huh? :mad::kick:

Pitor,

You in a particularly sanguinary mood today? :eek: Damn!

If DocHenley can say Putti (learned something new and interesting today!), I can say sanguinary. :D
