Nice Colt^^.
Who did the work (Heinie's, beaver tail, checkering).

Pair of "range Colt's"; 9mm/.38 Super and .45 ACP.
Different 'smiths, but really close to identical; same everything, both with 2.25# triggers.

Jim Garthwaite.

Your pair is outstanding.

That explains the quality of work.

Jim has to be a top 3 1911 (and P-35) smith in anyone's book.

Outstanding NY. Understated elegance.

It doesn't get any better than that.
Now if it just had arched MSH and short trigger......
