Ever see a Fancier Weatherby Crown Custom? Fantastically Embellished w Ivory & Gold

Absolutely Fantastically embellished Weatherby Crown Custom with Ivory and Gold - Even has Diamonds in the eyes of all 3 Rams and the Bear.
Made in 1963 with a monogram "RTL" and shipped to Europe. Typical Nils Hultgren stock work including all the Carved Ivory. His initials are on the Carved Bear. This would have been one of his last works in 1963 - he went to work for Winslow Arms in 1964. Unfortunately, unknown who did all fabulous Engraving and Gold work. BTW, 300 Wby Mag caliber.

Looking forward to your comments.

Never seen a more tasteless one.

I would not mind if you revered whores - why not?!

But revering cheap pimps? Disgusting !

I have always been a fan of "radical" Winslow rifles and I collected them. I owned all the ones shown below. Nils Hultgren did all the stocks and inlays. Like this Weatherby above, some people were very critical of their "over-the-top" style and poo-poo'd them . All these Winslow rifles ultimately sold for very BIG BUCKS - several sold for 5 figures $xx,xxx.oo .... proving that there are a lot of collectors today, that love the "flash from the past".
