Why no sights Barry?

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Nice job on the pistol. Is that brass clamp a spring vise?

Marvelous craftmanship. Your artistry shows in the form of the pistol, very sleek and flowing. You've taken full advantage of the colors of materials. Very nice.

Nice careful work.  I can see a lot of effort went into this.  Not exactly sure what your interest is, but you might enjoy examples of original European work.  A good place to start is Herman Historica.  They have online listings of their auction catalogs and are a fantastic source.
