Very nice. I had a Gold Cup in the mid 70s that I enjoyed shooting. Hope yours shoots well.

For a moment I actually thought that the wolf on your grips was anthropomorphic.

Those are nicely scrimshawed grips

I might need new glasses, but scrimshaw and photographs sure look a lot different

I too am a Big Fan of John Mosses Borrowing's 1911

It is one of my favorite types of firearm to carry

Walter o, based on serial numbers, I probably got my 1st Gold Cup about 4/5 years after you. While I still own that original 1970s Gold Cup, it has had lots of ammo thru it during the IPSC years and is now semi retired. It's brothers carry on the tradition
