$44,000 Diamond and Ruby 1911 Grips

[Sgt.Fathead]

I hate flashy, gaudy guns. Looks like a kid got hold of it and slap it up with glue and rhinestones.

 

[Ala Dan]

Like other's, I could care less 'bout those flashy, gaudy look'in grips~!
I would rather spend my money more wisely; like on more firearms or
ammo.

Well judging by the pics the diamonds look low grade and yellowish in color and they did not even do a good job color matching the ruby's :barf:

That gun has been on Gunbroker for the last 2 years. That was the first time I saw it. Actually I think the price has been lowered.

That gun has been on Gunbroker for the last 2 years.

What, they couldn't find a buyer in 2 years? That's shocking!

These grips would look soooo much better on high polish blue steel!

I was thinking the ultimate fit for these grips would be a Taurus PT1911 in stainless. Nothing says classy like a diamond plated Taurus.

 

[BigG]

POS springs to mind.

 

[Firepower!]

Pure waste

spending this much money to decorate paper weight is just not right.

 

[XD45Sooner]

I never thought I would ever see a gun I would describe as gay...but that one doesnt get around that lol

 

[JaserST4]

That's my gun! I set her down at the range two years ago and went to my car for just a minute and it was gone!

 

[BabyEagle40]

That looks like a 6 year old "BeJewelled" it.

 

[JaserST4]

Hey, come on man. It was my first set.

 

[Delaware_Dan]

As far as im concerned guns are tools, and I've never once looked at my drywall hammer and said to myself "You know what this could use? Some diamonds" that is ridiculous.

 

[ghalleen]

Man those are UGLY!

 

[imthegrumpyone]

Looks like crap !!!! Some people don't deserve to have money, what a waste.

 

[Tom2]

Guns are just tools? Must be a Glock fan! Uhh uhh stepped on a hornet nest....

 

[CWL]

Sure looks like a lousy job of inlaying. Rubies don't look like they match to me either.

$44K appraisal.
The last time I had an appraisal done, the appraiser put everything down for more than I paid...

 

[MPanova]

Ya I paid 23,000 total for my wifes wedding ring and the appraisal was 75,000 just 3 years after I bought everything, so Im assuming these grips should be worth about one third of the appraisal

 

[DonR101395]

If you look up that appraisal company it also looks like they specialize in home appraisals.


BTW: Do they make a set of those for a Hi Point

 

[bentol888]

hmmm..... That pistol or a brand new BMW.....what to do...?
