I have heard it said that when a woman who observes another wearing several diamonds might say that too many are tacky.
It is also said that the first woman probably does not have many.
I think in some circles this is called an ostentatious show of affluence. Sort of like some old fart showing off his trophy second or third wife. More money than good taste.
They do remind me of something that the guy on TV that is a "decorator" would enthuse over.
Not my taste. I'm certain that Tony cares. NOT !! LOL
Best,

Did CSMC have the pimp right there in the booth, or was he lurking somewhere else? Excellent! The enameled ones are just ugly. Kinda like Elvis on velvet.

If there wasn't a market for them Tony wouldn't be making them.

.....of course, a real gun company like Parker would have politely kicked the ass region of a 'customer' wanting that sort of bling-bling on a gun until said 'customer' was no longer on their premises. But hey, this is the New Age when money is everything.

Which does not mean good taste, only lots of money! JC

There is a bakery here that is owned and run by a French immigrant. He has the best eclairs and Paris Brest and creme brulet I have ever had. He uses real eggs, butter, etc... and is truly a master.
I don't eat three meals a day there but it is nice treat now and then to stop in for one of those super rich deserts.
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.

Thanks for posting the photo's Jeff. These are not my personal cup of tea, but buyers must be demanding them or Tony wouldn't bother. It's good to know CSMC is making new Foxes even if I can't afford one.
