Antique guns with animated singing birds

[Mr Peepers]

These were made in the 1820's, Gold pistols, with pearls and diamonds detailing singing birds with real feathers.


A single gun sold over 20 years ago, fetched Christie's Auction House over 1 million dollars.

This was interesting. The comment section someone said they sold. Wonder if that is where the phrase he sang like a canary came from?
