It's beautiful. Nothing looks as good as metal and wood.

The P-35 was supposed to be John Moses Browning's improvement to the 1911. 

I love mine, a great shooter.

If only somebody made the same design in .45ACP............ :(

Actually JMB only did some of the early work on it before his death.
Most of the details came from some Belgian.
