We may have had this around before, but gosh this is pretty.

The revolver is a Korth.

I've seen damascus 1911s before about 10 years ago. They were absolutely gorgeous!!! (and priced accordingly)
A LGS named 'Big Bore' used to have them. The storefront is now the Phx Glockmeister location.
Never have seen a damascus revo though. That's really nice.

they don't do anything for me

The gold bling doesn't do anything for me.
The damascus 1911s I saw had a MUCH tighter steel pattern and looked a lot nicer than those Cabots.
Especially on the sides of the slide. The ones I saw, the lines were horizontal, not vertical.

Not much on the gold trim, but I do like the Damascus pattern.

Often, the "gold" is TiN, Titanium Nitride, it's a coating used for wear resistance that happens to look exactly like Gold, but wears like you would not believe. based on my experience with it in milling machines I would guess that 1911 parts plated with it would never wear out.
