Automata Pistols - Birds in Disguise

We like surprises... and we like very clever bits of engineering. Here is something that combines both!

The auction house Christies has recently sold a pair of early 19th Century Pistols for five and a half million dollars.

On the outside the craftmanship is exquistie with detials picked out in gold, enamel, agate, pearl and diamond. But for SHUB the real beauty is inside.

Watch this:

These are the only complete pair of these pistols in the world - and there are only six pistols still known to exist. We want them.
