Thank you all for the kind words. The rear sight is indeed a Morris. Mark was kind enough to send me one to try when I called to order one of his mag wells for another build on a Delta I'm currrently doing. I did fiddle with it a bit though. All of us in LTW are constantly challenged by each other trying to do something a bit different, but we see ideas one person has done and that gives us another idea and........... Amazing we're still able to come up with different ideas on a gun that's almost 100 years old! Anyway, I wanted to try to do some different things and rather than the bevel on the bottom of the slide I wondered about a concave cut. Tried this out on a scrap slide I had and played with the dimensions till I liked the look. The topside border is just a different way of breaking that area up rather than the "French" (or American border per Tim Brian) now commonly seen. The rest was trying to tie it all together.
Here's a photo of the rear (sorry it's not a very good shot and is canted a bit).
The rest of it: Baer frame, Caspian slide, Schuemann Classic barrel, STI hammer, Heinie mag well, Legacy mainspring housing. Checkering at 25 LPI
