The gold is solid gold alloy, the silver is solid silver, the value is priceless.

wow, that 2nd to last is from WWII
Actually, It’s post War. It’s a Sterling, not a Sten. It was introduced in 1953. The Pistol, on the other hand, is a Browning Hi-Power, which was introduced in 1935. That particular gun probably isn’t that old, however.
None of those guns could be solid gold. It would simply not have the strength. Gold-plated I can see, solid-gold not so much.

The idea of the gold guns is for looks, not to shoot. They are solid gold, but were not produced by Saddam to be used in battle.
