Here are some grips I had laser engraved to celebrate the Colt 1911 100 yr. anniversary. While not major (less is more !), I like the way they turned out. Because the Combat Elite grips on the WWI are dark, I included a close-up of the 1911~2011 lettering. The Colt Commander Ahrends grips have the same lettering plus I had the Colt™ added. I find this to be a less expensive way to celebrate the anniversary.     I intend to do further "2011" mods on some other grips in the near future.

Quoted: Thanks ! No deep end. Just looking for ways to celebrate 100 yrs. without spending hundreds (and hundreds !) of dollars. As I said, "Less is more." so I am looking to add subtle touches that send the message but don't overwhelm. I stole an idea from someone else here and bought some U.S. Barber silver dime coins dated 1911 and embedded them into the grip panels, one dime centered on each side. |

Now we need pics of them ! |
