The FJG collection produced by Cabot is legendary, and three full pages are dedicated to various guns from the set on Cabot's OAK (one-of-a-kind) gallery, standing along such guns as the Big Bang Set, Le Nouveau, and Fountainhead. This pair is plated in 24k gold from muzzle to butt, and fit with ivory grips, with one scale on each pistol scrimshawed with a scorpion motif by celebrated scrimshander Darrel Morris. Other features include gold bead front sights, Novak rear sights, tri-star lightened triggers, lightened commander style hammer, serrated thumb safety and slide release, checkered magazine release, long A1 grip safety, and smooth straps. In a Negrini pebble case French fit for both guns and a pair of gold plated magazines. CONDITION: Excellent, retaining virtually all of the gold plate finish throughout, with some very minor thinning to silver on highest edges. Grips excellent with well executed scrimshaw work. Mechanically fine, bores with strong rifling and some light firing residue from test fire. Case fine. An outstanding set of guns, made all the more desirable by their presence on Cabot's own website.
