Why creepy? Bone is bone, just being recycled what we all should do, correct?
Human bone? Male or female? What bone?
And the way you can tell if you remove a small piece of laquer or treatment from the inside of one of the grips is to taste them.. Human bone are a bit salty, animal bone are not. Human meat tastes like pork or veal depending on who you ask, but bone tastes salty because humans eat so much salt. https://allthatsinteresting.com/what-does-human-taste-like
Actually that is not true at all, and that was a test question on a forensic exam, but everybody knows that correct? Because you cannot taste salt in bone, only in the flesh of humans. https://wellfr.com/are-human-bones-salty-the-surprising-chemical-truth
And from the forensics department that is the lesson for today. Those are nice grips.

I would say it’s more about respecting the remains of another human being. Would you want your grandmothers femur bone adorning someone’s mountain gun ? That’d be a no for most people.
I don't have a fancy case for mine.
Our office manager at the airport likes it too. She's pretty awesome even without the Tommy gun.

My Bar-BQ is a second generation Glock 17 (used) in a worn Uncle Mike's Nylon Holster.
So far I haven't been invited to a Bar-BQ. I am considering wrapping some white tape around the grip to see if my luck improves ?

Very pretty, but too pretty for me to own. I wouldn't want to shoot them if I had them. They would definitely be "Safe Queens" at my house.

I figured for the 250th I'd go traditional.

I hope the bone donor was deceased before they started carving. LOL

Here is my Norwegian contribution to this great thread.
The lower revolver in the photo is an 1884 Colt Single Action Army, that was rebuilt and refinished by gunsmith and engraver Roy Vail (1902–1979). He built and engraved custom firearms, primarily rifles and shotguns, in Warwick, New York. I believe his old house is still standing today, and if I'm not mistaken, it is even said to be haunted...
Mr. Vail may never have received the recognition he truly deserved, but among other projects, he built a custom Mauser 98 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958. You can read more about that here:

I have owned this revolver for a few years, although I have no idea how it eventually made its way to Norway...
It originally started life as a 7½-inch .44 WCF Colt SAA, manufactured in 1884. The barrel, cylinder, and all the internal parts have been replaced with parts believed to date from the 1930s. The revolver locks up extremely tight and shoots about five inches above POI at 25 yards. So far I have only fired it with black powder and Pyrodex P, but considering that both the barrel and cylinder are from the 1930s, I suspect it should be safe to use with mild smokeless loads as well. If anyone has experience with similar rebuilt SAAs, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts
The upper revolver is a 627 V-Comp in .357 Magnum, customized by the Norwegian gunsmith Lars Rannstad Slang. The idea behind this build was to optimize it for competition speedshooting and handgun hunting. I have also ordered a titanium cylinder for competition use, which is currently on its way from Smith & Wesson.
Gunsmith Lars Rannstad Slang has written a little about the revolver in these two Instagram posts:
Mr. Slang has built several custom firearms for me over the years, and has also restored a couple of my antique Smith & Wesson revolvers, all of which are regular shooters rather than safe queens.
For anyone interested, here's another fun project of his; a Mauser-based "DeLisle Commando Carbine" that was test-fired by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons during a visit to Norway a few years ago:

Beautiful pistola. Norwegian BBQs are, apparently, a step up from a neighborhood block party.
China. Quite a group. Some years ago my Lovely Bride, an RN, and I and an RN Friend of hers and her husband went to an exhibit in NYC where they displayed Amazing human body systems...nervous system, cardiovascular, skeletal, muscular, ALL of it...in the most minute detail. It was truly amazing to see, but it came out later that the "donors" were unwilling, and probably unaware, Chinese prisoners. Didn't diminish the medical value but certainty tainted the enjoyment factor.
One of the issues with a communist society. The state owns everything. Even you.
Beautiful gun! Of course you're still gonna run into guys like Tommy.
Don't listen to them.

I just picked this up from the FFL. M25-5. I’ll be looking through the classifieds for either some smooth targets or possibly a set of combats to dress her up a little.
Just in time for our Friday BBQ

Dad was a coin collector, so I was trying to combine some hobbies. Not that they are rare or anything, but he helped me find them. That was important to me.
