"They were produced to symbolize the potency of American manufacturing and craftsmanship, and were created using techniques that nobody else could equal."Tiffany & Co produced about 50 decorative gunsThey were intended as a showcase for craftsmanship and a symbol of American powerThe largest surviving collection is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
