Re: This image was disqualified as "offensive"

Thanks!

The gun in that image is actually a custom handmade pinless sidelock (meaning that the axles for the internal lockparts are machined to be part of the sidelock plate itself (not really any better than a normal sidelock in practical terms but quite an engineering feat) with H&H style engraving done in Bulino. Famars (Abbatico and Salvinelli) are the makers and Sabitini is the engraver. The gun was featurted on Famars' website for a number of years - they are now out of business.

This was a pic from the website of the process of how they made this pinless sidelock out of a thick chunk of steel.

This is a better pic of the gun (sorry that it includes a couple of the dreaded dead birds):

Very nice.  That should last forever.
