Introducing: The Vandershot!
Well, I've finally finished about six copies of my steampunk-styled pistols. They're constructed entirely of steel, brass, copper, and wood all lovingly hand built. They weigh at least a couple pounds each. They all feature a lanyard loop and a working trigger. I've been told by someone who's had experience with movie-props that they're what would be known as "hero" props. I now need to figure out how much I should charge for these bad boys and where to sell them. I understand that there's an e-Bay, of sorts, for artisans but I can't quite recall it's name at the moment. If I can make enough off of these pieces I intend to turn the money around and create a small, ladies' version, a rifle version, and ultimately a version with electronic lights and sounds.
If anyone can point me in the right direction your advice would be appreciated. Meantime, enjoy the three pics after the cut.
Greetings, good citizens!
I, Nicodemus Van Anders along with my beautiful lady Ananiah Van Anders, would like to present to you the latest tool for self-preservation, wilderness pacification, and overall entertainment yet loosed upon a somnolent world. Yes, I bring you good gentlefolk The Vandershot Mk II Electrothermatic Vitiator Pistol (tm).
Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, these few electrochromic images are but a mere whiff of the fun and excitement to be had with the purchase of each and every Vandershot (tm) electro-arm. Whether it be blasting your way through a pack of charging hyenas in the Serengeti, or simply whisking away the annoying legs that carry the tax collector to your door each year, your Vandershot (tm) pistol will easily fit the bill. It makes a dashing fashion accessory as well.

Vandershot! (tm) For the intrepid explorer or sedentary layabout who prizes a job (and target) well-done. Silly frivolities such as operator safety are of small concern compared to getting the job done right the first time!
