I dare you to buy it and bring it out to work some iron weeds, and buck brush for pheasants, if we are lucky it will rain or sleet too! Seriously, it's a work of art, I have toyed off and on with some gold encrusted trinket, but I just can't bring myself to shoot in in the field, the first scratch would kill me, and cost $10000.00 !!! Besides I keep reliving the scene from the movie Patton, where some reporter asked George if his pistols had pearl grips? His response, They are ivory, pearl grips are for whore's guns. I fear that might apply to gold too! I'm afraid somebody might think I resemble that remark!!!
