Strikingly beautiful. The likeness captured of Roosevelt is just amazing. As I view these pieces I find myself not thinking of them as guns at all, but as artwork, made to be viewed but never used, or hardly even touched. And, while I can appreciate the beauty and the talent required to create them I cannot understand the desire to own them. I guess it's like what a yacht owner once told my Dad when, as we were talking with him at a marina, "If you have to ask what one of these cost you couldn't afford it anyway".
Thank you, Phil, for sharing your talent with us, and for the amazing quality of the photographs.
All my best, SRH
