Kicking up some childhood memories.....in copper.
I've always liked copper for some reason. And what kid doesn't like small pocketable toys. I remember having fun with some spin tops. Maybe why I was willing to spend way too much on some small toys as an adult. I've also had an affinity towards Barlow knives. Maybe it had to do with sharing a name in common. A Barlow was one of my first knives as a kid. The first time I saw this KaBar Barlow in copper, I just HAD to have it.
And the 50th Anniversary Daisy.... This was my first BB gun as a kid. Was acquired new by my father in 1936. Used by him, my siblings, and abused a bit by me. I wish it were in better condition, but am happy to at least still have it.

A pistol thats not an SBR cause the brace obviously helps my carpal tunnel.
A firearm that is not a SBS just cause ATF science or something.
A 3v kukri that isnt a weapon cause its under 12 inch blade in Ga. cause Ga
The rest cause Im stayin on topic real good to not get fussed at for being beligerent. Its the most I can possibly comply.

One more for tonight. Pretty knives, Butt ugly gun.
Story behind. Years ago I purchased some gold plating equipment. Didn't really have much in the way of purpose, other than wanting to do some car emblems and such. But then went on a kick to "test" it out, as well as starting to push the limits on different materials.
I was carrying the G26 at the time. After testing out some different quality of chromed auto parts, I wondered if it would work on the Glock with existing coatings. If I remember correctly, I tested it out with some cheaper solutions first (copper or nickel maybe?). It seemed to work, so I went for the "gold".
After shooting it a few times, it kind of took on an antiqued look. I didn't like it enough to ever be seen carrying it again. But certainly wasn't worth the expense of refinishing. So it just goes to the range occasionally, and used as a prop for the occasional "dumb gun story".
