	This is either the laugh of the day or will make you burst into tears. I don't know who deserves a slap upside the head more, the guy who cobbled this thing together, or the nitwit that thinks it's worth a fortune. Don't blame me if you lose your lunch after clicking on it. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Ugliness is also in the eyes of the beholder. My own take is that it's a quite clever and maybe even practical period rendition of a poacher's or taxidermist's gun. The valuation is ridiculous, no question; but one can always hope that the seller can be convinced to be more reasonable about that. Bill Lawrence

	Hey, I like Peabodys! As you said, beauty definitely IS in the eye of the beholder!

	That's a Model 1867 Remington Rolling Block pistol action. Someone had a purpose for a firearm like this. It's actually not that badly done, but is certainly overpriced. JerryH

	I think it's uglier than a bucket a buttholes.

	Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I wonder who might find beauty in that?

	I was thinking (AT FIRST) that the attachment hardware had been from a Colt revolver. But upon looking at it for a while, I don't know what it may be from, or if it's made up for this application. Either way, it's ugly to me. And way too high price.
