Cleaning up my 1911

My carry gun is an ATI 1911 that was given to me by a good friend. The gun is accurate and reliable, but I have long been irritated by the lettering and markings on the slide. So after working on the 1851 Navy I decided to do the 1911.

Boy! Easy working surface .. long and flat ... BUT man is that slide made of hard steel! I worked several hours just on one side! But it has come out pretty well.
