“The Triumph of Love”

A truly one of a kind custom rifle designed by Vivian Mueller of the House Mueller Murgenthal in Switzerland. The platform is a Blaser R-93 Conception in .300 Win Mag. The second to the last photo shows the heart-shaped barrel and bullet along with the ruby bead sight. The designer’s intent was to showcase a struggle, hence the many different engraved figures throughout the rifle. Note the “caged” skull behind the buttpad.

The eternal battle between good and evil can be likened to the fight between evil power and the purity of inner freedom. This is a universal theme which mankind has been dealing with since the beginning of consciousness. The bipolarity of the theme is artistically provoking and is the base of the creative and artistic concept behind this rifle. 

Adorned with 24K white and yellow gold, sterling silver, rubies, aquamarines, white diamonds and rare bird’s eye maple wood. It sold in 2008 at auction for about £120,000. If you converted that by taking inflation into account, it would be £148,731 or $234,095. (GRH)
