gunrunnerhell:De Pitigny Percussion Target Rifle “Danse Macabre”Ornately engraved featuring gold inlay, this handcrafted rifle features various scenes where Death pays a visit to people. The engraver called it a “Danse Macabre” theme, supposedly to mark the 500th anniversary of the Black Death in Europe. Note the words “Memento Mori” on the muzzle, which in Latin means “remember (that you have) to die.” You can read more about the rifle’s history in the link below, or maybe even buy it, if you’ve got $130,000.
