Answered by Mike, the sparkles on the LePage pair are industrially produced, diamond cut.

Here is a humblest approach to these fine pistols, taken with no skill ... and long gone to a new owner.

This is a lovely little pistol Fernando, I've always liked the Queen Anne style.

Thank you SwordLover79! How do you take these pictures of your pistols?

I'm not a great photographer but I have a trade secret, and that is love.
Seriously though, I just keep taking photographs until they look as good as they do in my mind's eye.

Once I am happy with a photograph, I cut out the background and place the pistol itself on a transparent background, that way I can then place the pistol in any orientation on any background. Like this catalogue collage.
