Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million
Dear Tommy and All I will be interested to see the reaction of listees to this article. A few years ago I posted a small "flyer" for the work of an artist who had taken a piece of Campo, made a mould of it, melted the meteorite then cast it in the mould she had made earlier and put it on display in an exhibition of her work. This piece of news generated a great deal of, mainly negative, comment on the list. Can someone point out to me how this use of a meteorite, to make a weapon, is different (for better or worse) to the artwork my friend created?

Hello Peter, Since you asked I am sorry if I upset your friend or yourself, but destroying a meteorite just so you can redo it was simply idiotic. Why break something just so you can glue it back together? and losing in the process the Widmanstatten pattern, the very identity of the meteorite that simply cannot be re-created. As for this latest idea... Using a meteorite that came down in peace, that helped early men learn the value of iron, and then turn it into a gun, this might be the ultimate insult.

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million
Hi List, I have to agree with Anne on this one. It's sad to see a beautiful regmaglypted Gibeon sliced down, smelted, and turned into a tool. I'd feel the same way if the tool was a wrench or a gun. Besides, meteoritic iron is not homogeneous and may fracture under pressure. It is a poor choice for making gun parts. This is a gimmick and nothing more. I own guns, I am knowledgeable about guns, and I would touch this gun with a ten-foot pole, even if I had a million dollars. It's a bomb waiting to explode in the shooter's hand.

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million
There is *nothing* wrong with crafting the handle of a sidearm using a meteorite. There is *nothing* wrong with pistols or rifles. Period. It's no different than using meteorites to make the face of a watch. No difference.

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million
It would be interesting if they made a Colt Peacemaker .45 pistol from a meteorite. This is the gun that help keep peace in the West starting in 1873. http://guns.wikia.com/wiki/Colt_Peacemaker I went to a cash land auction held by Pershing County here in Nevada and was concerned about security since I saw no guards or policemen on duty and the back door was left wide open at the community center where the auction was being held. The room was filled with cowboy and rancher type investors with suitcases full of cash and yet nobody seemed concerned. I inquired and the auctioneer stated, "If somebody was ever stupid enough to try and rob one of my auctions, he would have fifty bullets in his head before hitting the ground since most of my auction patrons are heavily armed." I looked around and could see cowgirls with Ladysmith 9 mms and derringers stuffed into their boots and purses and men checking in on their Colt 45s laying in the same suitcases along with their cash. Needless to say, I witnessed peace through strength at this auction right here in the Wild West. - Original Message - From: "Anne Black via Meteorite-list" <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> To: <p.david...@nms.ac.uk>; <tomm...@hvc.rr.com>; <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Friday, January 15, 2016 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million Hello Peter, Since you asked I am sorry if I upset your friend or yourself, but destroying a meteorite just so you can redo it was simply idiotic.
