Pretty Guns-- the Continuing Series

This one is a high- quality modern version of the classic Colt 1911 by Kimber . It has some useful modifications like Tritium night sights and a better magazine, but the reason I have photographed it is the wonderful custom scrimshaw handles by Eagle Grips. The design is a composite-- my drawing-- of several Tokugawa-era-- think ca. 1620-- Japanese screens.
