Steampunked Handguns?

Frommer Stop? Steyr M1912? Any European handgun from the turn of the century could be used...BUT, for the right look, you need to dress it up with brass accents, flares, perhaps a useless small brass pipe running to a decorative small brass gauge set in the grip. As long as you are doing to something that is relatively plentiful and not a real collectible.

I always wanted one of those Steyrs...
 
I always thought the Calico Liberty 100 was pretty steam punky. Make a brass cover for the magazine wooden grips and some funky optics to mount above the magazine and they'd probably think the whole thing was mocked up from scratch.

Though not a handgun, I thought this worthy of inclusion. it's a harmonica action gun, the magazine slides sideways.

This particular firearm was designed by one Jonathan M. Browning, a Mormon who fathered 22 children with three wives, including a son with a storied history of firearms design.
 
I like the idea behind steampunk. I seldom like the execution. That said, I'll throw out a few that might fit. The turn of the century pocket autos come to mind, as do the early autoloading rifles. Incidentally, I've always been of a mind that the Remington Rolling Block did a pretty admirable job of straddling the line between the Wild West and the modern world as we know it, especially some of the later military rifles that saw service in the Mexican Revolution. The various models of Krag would also qualify...but I don't have any pictures of those.
