The Sherlock Holmes 1911 is a masterpiece, meticulously hand engraved to honor the legendary detective and his adventures. This unique firearm features intricate engravings that encapsulate the world of Sherlock Holmes, including portraits of his trusted allies and cunning adversaries. Portrayals of the Baskerville Hound and Professor Moriarty, Holmes’s most perilous encounters, adorn the grips, showcasing his daring adventures. Within the engraving lies the first of several riddles to be solved.
Engraved maps of London, both the bustling streets around 221B Baker Street and the labyrinthine alleys near Scotland Yard, showcase Holmes’s domain. A music score of Mendelssohn’s violin concerto, which resonated through the walls of 221B as Holmes serenaded Watson, is etched along the top of the slide. Intriguing drawings of Asian fish, a cryptic homage to a pivotal clue in one of Holmes’s cases, also grace the pistol.
The right grip panel is meticulously engraved to portray the haunting scene from “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” The moonlit moors provide a backdrop for the formidable hound, while Holmes and Watson are frozen in a moment of overwhelming fear. This captivating artwork intertwines supernatural elements with tangible fear, transforming the pistol grip into a unique artifact brimming with story and character.
Meanwhile, The left grip panel showcases a masterful engraving depicting the iconic climax from “The Final Problem.” It captures the dramatic setting of the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland, with Holmes and Moriarty locked in a perilous struggle near the edge. The tension and dynamism of their confrontation are intricately etched, culminating in a thrilling moment as they seem to tumble over the falls.
The pistol slide, a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, intricately weaves the narrative tapestry of Sherlock Holmes’s world. Hand-engraved details pay homage to iconic characters and pivotal moments from Conan Doyle’s tales. On the left side, Toby the hound and Pinkerton agent John McMurdo emerge, embodying the essence of undercover work and moral complexity. Inspectors Gregson and Lestrade stand alongside, symbols of tireless pursuit within London’s foggy streets. In the slide’s center lies a vintage map of Victorian London, highlighting Scotland Yard and St. Matthew’s Church, emblematic of Holmes’s investigative heart. Moving forward, Mrs. Hudson, Mycroft Holmes, Mary Morstan, and Dr. John Watson grace the slide, representing the personal ties grounding Holmes’s adventures.
The right side delves into darker elements, featuring Professor Moriarty, Irene Adler, Colonel Sebastian Moran, and Grimesby Roylott. Another vintage map focuses on Baker Street, Holmes’s iconic address. Tonga, Hugh Boone, McGuinty, and the Hound of the Baskervilles conclude the narrative, reflecting diverse challenges and mythical elements. Engraved by FEGA Master Engraver Lee Griffiths, this pistol slide transcends its function, embodying the essence of Conan Doyle’s detective saga.
Crafted by Les Ateliers Victor of Paris, France, this custom travel trunk pays homage to Sherlock Holmes. Its design embodies Holmes’s adventures and persona. The trunk’s exterior features rich, deep red leather, reminiscent of Holmes’s dressing gown and the ambiance of 221B Baker Street. Opening it reveals a tartan lining, a nod to Holmes’s deerstalker hat, immersing the owner in his world. Intricately engraved locks depict Holmes’s apartment facade and Baker Street address. Inside, the initials “V” and “R” recreate his apartment’s bullet-pocked walls, shot into the leather in a secret Parisian range.
Besides housing the pistol, the trunk includes items deepening the connection to Holmes. A magnifying glass symbolizes his investigative prowess, while an antique syringe reflects his complex relationship with drugs. A repurposed drug vessel serves as an oil container, discreetly nodding to Holmes’s vices. More than an accessory, this trunk is a portal to Holmes’s world, designed for those valuing function, form, and storytelling. A secret compartment holds another clue to the Sherlock Holmes Experience—a cipher deciphered from the Dancing Alphabet Men code, adding intrigue and mystery.
