Nice display and collector models, I'm sure you have others for personal protection.

What country does the art work represent? Poland? Scandinavian?

While I REALLY, REALLY, appreciate the engraving, and how nice those pistols are, they are and forever will be safe queens. I would be shocked if anyone here would actually shoot them, unless it was such an emergency, that it dictated it.

If my research is correct the pistol in the foreground was produced sometime in 1913. I hope it was either engraved while it was fairly new, or was a poorly preserved example which got a definite upgrade once embellished. These early guns are quite rare in nice shape these days and it would be a bit of a shame to "ruin" (in a most attractive way) a third year of production collector's item.
