Most Beautiful Looking Handgun?

Thanks Can-down! You sure are good at the photo thing.
In my opinion the best looking handgun ever made is the Mauser C-96
A close second is the Luger
Now I can see how you would say it's functional, classic, historical, inventive, and valuable, but "BEAUTIFUL" -- my sense of beauty doesn't stretch that far. If I had a "Broomhandle", I'd keep it locked away. Something always makes me think of Broomhilda when I see a c96 (just me, I'm sure, I don't know why!).
Now the Luger -- humm, that's getting closer to beautiful IMHO. It's received quite a few endorsements.
My other wife:
or any of my other guns lol:
Some beautiful wood grips. Where did you find these??
Others have posted some great wood grips too, but I'm struggling to find a good source. I particularly like the rich, dark, slightly reddish "mahogany" look.
I also want to find a place where I can get good blank rifle stocks, unfinished. They don't have to be walnut or contain burls, fiddleback or whatever, but obviously a good hardwood like maple or maybe birch, and already cut and fitted to the type of action I want to use. All I want to do is the final finishing. Any ideas?

Boomer,
I'll let Can-down provide the definitive answer becasue he seems to be the expert on this, but you're going to need to post the http://xyz.abc.jpg portion of the address so that members can open the website directly from your post.

Oh, no I didn't miss your post. I was just thinking Beretta.
Hmm I do believe my 93-r is a Beretta actually
As for the Taurus.. virtually the same gun.. but I prefer the frame safety instead of slide mounted. And the satin stainless I think looks better than the Inox. But hey it's all personal pref
Actually I am also thinking the Beretta 951 is very ellegant as well; not as thick and bulky as the 92, but also not as tiny as the 1934.

I don't think all your pics are showing.
The Taurus is like a Beretta, but until the Brazilians will write Beretta on the slide, it's still a Taurus.
That skeletonized hammer and thicker triggerguard, do take away from it's "Beretta qualities".

Well damn.. they were... hmm ok fixing em now
And I personally like those added changes as well as a few others they have done. While keeping the same "92" look of course
Now w/fixed links.. pix work again
Note.. pix are stock from online not my actual gun sadly. Mine is in storage a long way from home
