Very nice pieces Steve. I have a real affinity of both of those models and especially when they display honest wear.

I echo your comment about only seeing perfect or near perfect vintage 1911s these days. At the recent big Reno show there were just too many "mint" pieces being offered at mint prices. Very hard for me to believe a WW1 G.I. piece is unissued mint. . . especially when you see several sprinkled around the show floor.
