In the early '70s I SO wanted a Swenson 1911 with the Smith rear sight. I shot one in LA in '72 and fell in love (sounds weird, going to LA to shoot, but true).
The one I wanted was hard chromed, had a squared trigger guard, and a K frame rear sight with a ramped front sight and the single safety. But I never could get the money together. I think the total with shipping and three fitted mags was around $400.
The setup is a little dated. The rear sight wouldn't take a lot of abuse and there are better choices now. But there is nothing that looks more cool.
