Ask Ron if he'll swap you for an original pair of 1900 grips without the inlaid plate...

Otherwise, this gun is really sweet. The sound and feel when it snaps into battery when chambering the first round strikes me as different than the later ones--like closing the door on a Rolls Royce--impressive and amazing! I can see now why you like the oldies so much.
The tolerances are much tighter too. It didn't have to pass military trials [yet] so it was much more closely machined. The surface finish was much better too.

I like the 110+ year old patina on mine. Be sure you remove the safety lever and clean out the crud underneath it. Makes a world of difference in the safety 'staying put'.
