Take a look at the video.
They are purely decorative.
I do not have too much to say about them except that the work is out of this world!!!

WOW! I found myself forgetting to breath! Those are truly amazing creations. Today they would be difficult to produce but when they were actually constructed is mind blowing.
Thank you for sharing.

Well, sure they're pretty, and sound nice, but how do they shoot? :biggrin:

Seriously, those are really amazing. As I was watching the video, I was kinda bored at 1st, but when I saw how intricate the mechanism, and the movements of the bird, I was blown away. Especially when you consider the age.

I have trouble thinking of new pen ideas. Image the guy who decided to make this. How did he ever come up with the idea, let alone making it work?

Beautiful Pistols, exquisite workmanship. The Dresden Green Vaults hod some fantastically Jeweled weapons similar in artistic mastery,
