SADDAM'S GOLDEN GUNS

For a minute there, I thought this topic was under the swap forum!

Actually, it has been well established that Saddam did in fact have several guns made with gold. During the early part of the war, a Canadian soldier got in quite a lot of trouble trying to smuggle one of these out of the country. Perhaps someone can find the old news article?

Thanks Stuart,
What a great thread! I hadn't seen some of these before.
The gold plated Dragunov is fantastic.

Certainly a collection of 'bling' unlikely to be ever rivalled!

Regards
