Lastly today I have a colt vest pocket 25 auto pistol I just finished. I did it in a period correct style to when this gun was originally marketed. I found some images of Cuno Helfricht work and emulated it on this particular pistol.

That's a really neat job! I have one of those laying around, somewhere, and it's in so bad a condition that its use might be only for that of a paperweight, or a demo piece, if it can be brought up to snuff, cosmetically. Sometime, the junkers do have advertisement value.

I thought I'd post the final pictures of the gun with nickel plating and ivory grips.

Thank you. I doubt it'll be at Denver. I did this for a regular customer. But I'm hoping to have a similar piece ready for the show. I have several other really nice pieces ready for Denver.
