This Browning Hi-Power pistol was purportedly owned by the late dictator of Libya.

It proves, once again, that dictators and gangsters have no taste. Just look at that ugly grip. AAA grade walnut and a screw that matches the gold plating of the rest of the gun would have made it slightly more tasteful.
