That is some truly ugly punch dot work.
I won't dignify it by calling it engraving. I'd give him a tenth of his $6K asking price (maybe), if only for an UGLY shooter with ivory grips. |

a Texican 1911.I'm surprised it wasn't converted to .38 super.

Oh, that's purdy. Needs more mother of pearl grips, though. Saw a red dot that would go real nice on that slide today @ the Safari show.

I like it. Maybe a bit busy, but the brands are cool. It will sell.

At first I was and then I looked closer at the garbage engraved on it and then I was

That caused a flashback to a horrifying experience from my younger days. A regular and totally legit customer came into the cop shop with a sack that contained 4 engraved Colt 1911's in .38 Super. They were wrapped in old t-shirts, no presentation cases, and all had visible wear from being carried and shot. He needed money right now and had a pretty damn low price on them (can't remember now). It was the Grocery-Sack-O-Guns.
The horror? I couldn't afford to buy even one of them on my peasant wages. |

But hey, $600 off if you don't spring for the Texas medallion grips.....

A Texan sending his gun out of state for engraving? He's either an idiot or just wanted a quick engraving job. Probably a little of both.

Make a great court/bbq gun. I'll take it, if someone has the money to pay the dude for it
