Talking about Eye Candy and the Tooth Faery, several years back, Uberti built 7 or 8 replicas of a '66 rifle, presented to a Mexican El Presadente. The original had been Silver Plated. The Replica was SOLID SILVER, fully engraved with presentation grade wood. Then the really good part. They (the silver rifles) were actually proofed!!
I started looking for banks with no security cameras, no on-floor guards and lots of money. No luck. Then Uberti Sold "Silver 7," the example here in the states. I understand it went to a collector (boo hiss) to disappear into a safe and never be played with. I understand it went for either 28 or 38 grand.
Had it gone to me, I'd been shooting it at the next match!!!
