Do any of you fine, 1911 aficionados know where one could come into possession of some quality wood grips for a Colt Gold Cup Trophy with a Ed Brown maxi-well? I say "quality" because past experience tells me its a gamble even with $60-70 grips.
I had hoped some existed with the hawsey medallions, but that might be asking too much. Colt won't do the inset nor sell them to me unless they were original grips that happened not to have the medallions (E.g. XSE with rosewood).
I really like the color of the grips on the Special Combat Government, but Cindy at Colt tells me those aren't wood (she thinks; the site says otherwise), even if I could get them.
I'm a fan of the darker woods -- for example, silverwood, I think it's called?
Hep, hep! :)
