    Not me. If I were rich, I'd have this one.

    I love the history.

    And as a bonus, its a GOOD American company. They are part of a local high end machine shop, guys who make parts for the under sea part of off shore oil rigs and whatever you want. My son has been there on a company sponsored functions through school.

    My father is from that general area of Pennsylvania. When I was a kid visiting my grandparents, dad took me to see his best friend at his machine shop. The precision and workmanship was amazing. (I could never do it). While I would love to have a piece of PA machine shop excellence, I couldn't buy a non-shooter.

    I love this one BTW: http://cabotgun.com/oak-collection/the-damascus/

    Well, I hate to bust their bubble, but all the metal in the Earth's crust originally came from meteorites, and the dust cloud from which the Earth was formed. The company may make great pistols, but they're doing a P.T. Barnum on the customers for this pistol. Sayin'.

    Yup. Formed from a disintegrating star. . .just like every other piece of metal, on earth or off it.

    But I was kinda hoping they'd make Han Solo's C96. . .
    WWJMBD?

    Anyone willing to pay that much for a pistol, I have some prime Pacific coast beach front property, located just east of Dallas that I let go for a very reasonable price!

    They are Ferrari's. Not made for everyone.

    Not that I'd buy either one (even if I had the funds), but it makes me happy that these things exist and others can and do buy them.

    Not hardly, a Testarosa (sp?) is one fine machina deportiva, maybe not worth the sticker price, but an old-er one is something I drool over.....

    This gun made from UNOBTAINIUM is not on my covet list, a mere
    Springfield Armory 1911 is and is exactly right, I had a Remington Rand 1911 that saw service throughout WW-ll and that pistol IMHO was worth much more intrinsically to ME in any case....
