It makes me smile that there even exists a philosophy that ornate firearms belong in "museum" like environments. Why would you need to even differentiate between a subdued, "combat" finished weapon and a high polish, ornate weapon, when both are being carried concealed? You don't take them out until you NEED to (or for conversation at the gun range, etc), so what's the problem? They both look the same under a concealing garment. I suppose George Patton didn't know too much about needing to keep his guns simple. Old Blood & Guts understood that you only live once; flaunt it!
