That is a nice work of art, and an excellent copy of the Colt Model 1911 semi-auto handgun.

If I was faced with a man holding that ultra-realistic carved copy in a dark alley, I would hand over my ATM card and password in record time, and even thank the "gunman" for his generosity in letting me live.
