OK, we all have seen the pics of the Wilsons, NH, Kimbes, etc with the front serreations. I want a retroish 1911. I have a mil-spec Springer for the base and I was wondering what you gys have done to keep the 1911's lines simple and graceful. What sights, what msh, what grip safety/hammer configuration, what internal parts. Pics are appreciated too.
My Kimber Pro Elite (commander style) doesn't have serrations on the front. in fact, it has the most awesome melt job I've ever seen. No sharp edges at all. But it's hardly "retro" as it has the beavertail grip safety, bobbed hammer, etc. I'll post a pic tonight when I get home. Can't access photobucket from work.

Would you really buy it?
Outstanding looking work. But the pricing?
Up to a point you get what you pay for. But his pricing past that point a ways back there. He's well into the gouging level IMO. I saw one that was listed at $5650 and it was marked as sold!
One of these days I want a GI type model. But those things hammer bite me bad!
The very best no nonsense 1911 I ever saw was this Sheriff Jim Wilson Commemorative by Ed Brown...

I know, I know...it's not really "retro" but it's a simple, working man's .45 just the same.
If only it wasn't $2300!

How come?
Don'tcha just love your "railroad tracks" you now have on the web of your right hand? 
Remember...scars are souvenirs you never lose and tattoos with better stories.
Here's my Kimber Pro Elite.
