That is pure ecstasy in physical form.

Good find OP.

Regardless of whether or not someone is a fan of 1911's, hell even a fan of firearms in general, that is still pretty freakin' cool. ".....the first mechanical devices to be made from a meteor..." Just awesome.

Thanks OP.

That really is too cool. The billion year old Browning...

Interesting display pieces, but I doubt they would last long under use. They come from a nickel iron meteorite.

Also, is the slide stop on the wrong side of the pistol?

One is a right handed gun, the other is a true left handed gun. For $4.5M accept nothing less!

One is a true left hand

They look amazingly pretty, but... 1) they've got to be ungodly heavy, especially with those grips; 2) the sights look more beat up than my 26-year-old G17; and 3) what the $%^& is up with the trigger face?

I'm I the only one that would rather just have the actual, unadulterated meteorite?

Nope. Right there with you.

I'd rather have a couple pistols I could shoot a lot, and a meteorite I could display. Plus a lot of money in the bank lol.
