Two pistols made from a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite could fetch $1.5 million when they are auctioned later this month. Constructed from part of the Muonionalusta Meteorite, which was discovered in Sweden in 1906, the working .45 caliber pistols offer an unusual take on the classic 1911 handgun design. Experts believe that the meteorite slammed into Earth about 1 million years ago, although the meteorite itself is thought to date back some 4.5 billion years. Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions will be selling the pistols, either individually or as a set, at an auction on July 20. NASA EYES GIANT 'METEORITE' CRATER BENEATH GREENLAND’S ICE “The majority of the metal in these guns is meteorite,” Craig Kissick, director of science and nature at Heritage Auctions, told Fox News, noting that the pre-sale estimate for the set is $1 million to $1.5 million. more | ||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
A gimmick for sure. There is another pair out there from another meteor claiming to be worth $4.5 million. All my guns have materials in them that could be dated back to a similar time period, give or take a few billion years. When was the beginning of time again? Looks like they haven't found someone out there willing to pony up the dough yet. https://fineart.ha.com/itm/met...ound-/a/5438-72083.s ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||
