Thanks for some more weigh in on them. I'm pretty sure that they must be his, but I was hoping the pictures would be enticing enough to get some more opinions.

I've been pondering them, and I think maybe that if they really are Mr. Wendell's work I need to put them on a proper pre-war 1911. Maybe one that is King equipped. I may have some serious saving to do to fund that.
