The Cabot Guns Big Bang Pistol Set is a pair of matching handguns that were crafted from a 4.6 billion-year-old meteorite. The pistols are made from the Gibeon meteorite, which is estimated to have crashed to Earth in Namibia over 30,000 years ago. The set was sold at auction in 2019 for a record-breaking $4.6 million.
After billions of years of travel, a meteorite hurtled to Earth in Gibeon, Namibia during Earth’s pre-historic times. Unknown to Western civilization until the early 1800s, the ancient Nama people used pieces to construct tools and weapons. In 2015, its destiny not yet fulfilled, the hands of Cabot Guns’ master craftsman wrapped around a 77-pound piece of unshapen material and so began a transformation. Like the men of yore, we also saw in it the potential to shape earthly perfection from materials of the cosmos.
