Looks very good! I have a couple that I have antiqued and while I hate messing up a nice finish, I do like the lived in look.
I bought a Cimarron WWI 1911 repro .45 for my 45th birthday. I antiqued it a little bit to look like a well used original. I found a set of bison bone grips on eBay fairly inexpensive and soaked them on strong coffee for a few days and they took o a great mellow color that matched well with the rest of the gun
