That is some really nice work. It is nice to know that there are good 1911 gunsmiths outside CONUS.

It is always refreshing and invigorating to see such clean work from gunsmiths that are unknown to me. Makes me optimistic that the bar just keeps getting higher and higher for many, not just the "names we all know".
Congratulations to you as the owner and to the builder who obviously is quite talented. I wish him success as he obviously has the "right stuff".
Best regards,
Jeffro

I've been mulling this one over since right after you first posted the pics. Every time I look at it, I see new details. I just noticed the way the grips are made/fit to the mag well. Very nice detail. I officially declare this an "INSTANT CLASSIC!" :D

VERY beautiful! The forward narrowing of the front sight is that cosmetic or does it serve a function? It looks great!

I know I'm posting to an old thread but is there any chance of resurrecting the other pics, Robert?
