Definitely not to my taste at all... Way too much "bling"! But I'd say Researcher is right, there's a market and somebody will buy the thing eventually.
Oooof! The more I look at it, the more it offends my eyes.

I agree with the skill, but whoever did it just got carried away with the previous metals and the pattern. He went to extremes and ruined it. The Spanish have a word that applies: Cursi. It means ridiculous, no class.

Mark,
I would have guessed it was yellow gold, white gold and red gold?
It does have a certain middle eastern style to the engraving. Possibly Tony's target market?

I'm a sucker for abalone and mother-of-pearl so this one really does nothing for me.

Visual proof that with enough money you can buy anything except good taste.

Whoever commissioned this thing prolly dresses up his bird dog in in a little Barbour dog suit complete with a doggie deerstalker cap!

Yes Sir but the employees only bought the facility and then they leased from Olin the rights to make certain models, like the M21, M94 and M95 but not the others. If they owned Winchester lock stock and barrel, not trying to be punny here, they could have made all of their models. I figured the boom in cowboy action shooting would have saved USRA Company but, I think, that the Olin Corporation or their parent organization would not renew their (USRAC) lease for these Models for whatever reason.

Based on CSM making the M21, Olin must not have licensed it to USRAC.
Didn't USRAC shut down their US facilities in 06?
