Not my last fullsize 1911/Christmas in November

[m1marty]

Got both of these today. Mike Irie number 1 and a 1943 Colt 1911A1. The Colt may not be as bling as Barts...but it's tres cool non the less.

Holy shit! 62 years old!?! That is awesome! Gotta love the 1911.:wolfgang:

Oh yeah, post some pics of the knife. :picsor: :nana:

[m1marty]

I am having a hella hard time with pictures on the knife. The blade and bolsters are like mirrors and "bling" the whole picture. Details are:
Ser. # 86
Silver G10 scales
Anodized titanium liners
Acid etched bolsters and back spacer
hand rubbed ATS-34 blade (marks are from tuff cloth, not scratches)
Ti thumbstud with black pearl inlay
serrated thumb ramp
rock solid in every respect and sooooo smooth it's scary.
Best thing about it? It was a gift from another knife nut.:nana:

Thanks for the pics. I really like the bolsters.

:yeahthat: Those bolsters are very cool.

I have an older Colt arsenal rebuild that I'll have to get some pics of one of these days. I'm not sure what the date on it is though. I love those older, basic 1911s.
