Umm... guys...

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.

Guys, interesting discussion... and WAY off topic. Can we please nudge the discussion back to photography related issues and I would encourage any further discussion concerning guns, etc. be relegated to PMs, please. This has nothing to do with whether gun related discussions are OK or not... it's about keeping discussion in this forum centered around its charter, which is all about photography.

Thanks in advance.
