Iraq

So, a NJ man plead guilty to trying to sell some Iraqi Hussein-Guns. Not Saddam's.  His son Qusay's.  His personal weaponry.

Seven guns, a coupla .357 revolvers, a .32, coupla shotties, a 45...  estimated value $250,000.

Whoa!  How much gold plate is on those?  I know they Husseins had a taste for gaudy Deagle type guns but... THAT much?!  The cache would make them that valuable?  Even really good custom guns...  wait a minnit...  "Coupla shotguns".  That's it.  Heck, I've seen a pair valued that high in person, what with all them fancy engraved jobs.  Yeah.  Really fine fowling pieces will do that.
