Gaudy in my opinion, although it depends on taste. Give me a 1911 with a deep high-polish blue, or an 1873 Model P (aka Peacemaker, SAA) with deep high-polish blue and bone charcoal color case-hardening.
I don't like guns that serve only to sit in a glass case somwhere. IMHO, guns should be shot, not stared at....still that doesn;t change the fact that somebody spent a lot of time CRAFTING this weapon.
Pretty neat but I'd spring for a Wilson Supergrade 1911 in the high polish blue, maybe in 10mm. No front cocking serrations, no words on the slide, maybe even the engraving on the side...
