May have it done sooner than I thought. Got the action in and the bushing fit. Finish the sights, finalize the action and send it to the bluer. I am thinking the stags need to be replaced by Elephant Ivory

Maybe a little gold fill in the engraving too. I always wanted one of the fancy 1911s with ivories and engraving

Bill Lowther. He is 15 minutes from my office and works on one gun at a time at home. This is the third gun I have had him engrave. Trying to get him to do a Blackhawk but he doesnt like doing the rounded surfaces. Plus he said there is nothing harder than a Ruger loading gate.
To each their own on the gold fill. I will post pics when it is done and you can see which way I lean.

He did some tasteful engraving on that one, it looks purty.
