2/27/18 - This is a beautiful, ANIB Les Baer 1911 that was engraved and manufactured as a special 25th anniversary release for collectors. From the Les Baer website, "this commemorative model starts life as a fully equipped and fully functional Baer Premier II pistol, the flagship of our 1911 product line, and still the standard against which all other 1911 pistols are judged. Then, to make it extra special and extra beautiful, we have enhanced it with these unique features that help guarantee its strong visual appeal and its continued collectibility for years to come:
Exquisitely crafted hand engraving on both sides of the slide and frame;
Les Baer’s actual signature and the legend “25th Anniversary” have been engraved, then inlaid with white gold on the top of the slide;
All the flat metal surfaces have been hand prepared with ultra-fine 1200-grit material, then the entire pistol has been finished with a deep, rich Charcoal Bluing;
Each pistol comes with real ivory grips, an absolutely stunning contrast to the deep blue finish;
