what I learned a out the art world also applies to the Gun world… Is there someone willing to buy it at $$$$$ or just $$, that’s all that matters

Sorry, our budgets don't allow for herring, red or otherwise. Regretfully,

Oops, it is Karl Beining who modifies a Heinie to look a lot like what Ted and others apparently hack out of pig iron.

Most of the time I enjoy your posts Jim but on this topic you seem to have burr up you where the sun doesn't. I am not sure why? Maybe its best just to ignore you in this thread.

Sorry, I do seem to have a lack of unalloyed admiration for such stuff.

If you don't care for it why do you bother going to such lengths to disparage it? It is an honest question. By doing so you come off as petty. You don't see value. You have made that painfully clear. We get it. The more you post the more you expose most of your gripes are not grounded in reality.
Back to the topic of sights the difference between Ted and Karl Benning is age. Ted has been in the game for longtime. Karl is young but if you look at his work he is excellent. He does not have the equipment and machining capability of Ted yet.... He will one day so yes he mills Heine sights to suit his needs. Karl is an excellent smith who is only getting better.
I believe we have done a thorough survey of high end 1911s, and thank you all for any useful information conveyed.
