A pair of Colt 1911's that went through a role reversal. The Goverment was a new unfired Series 80 in blue, the owner wanted a number of mods including new sights, grip safety, checkering, MSH, ignition parts to name a few. The project was finished in a lightly polished hard chrome. The Commander was originally electroless nickel plated from Colt. It received machine checkering and a high cut. Refit barrel and new bushing with new ignition parts. A 10-8 rear sight with an XS small dot up front. The finish is now deep blue with a high polish on the slide flats and pins. Grips are maple by Cavery. The guns are for two different owners.
