looks like the work of Matt Davis
I must've corrected my post as you were posting. Love your taste in 1911's David
Jim Hoag built Longslide, built on a Colt Commercial. You'd never be able to tell where he welded the two slides together. Checkering on the frontstrap, squared triggerguard, commander hammer, and rear of the slide. French borders and slide serrations, Bomars, Genuine Swenson safeties, and a barrel from Irv at Bar-Sto. Beavertail is one of Jim's handmade ducktail jobs.
I own some great 1911's, built by some of the best. But I don't think any are as impressive as this.

That grip safety fit appears to be a little bit raggedy to me.
That long slide is a true thing of beauty. Fine work indeed.

I re-worked the magwell a bit and softened the safety levers
