Looks perfect. That's just a very mild brushed finish on the sides. So going too fine a paper will polish out the brushed finish.

I seem to be having an Armybrat moment here and not working on the fix. Another attempt.

I can see your photog skills are better than mine Colonel.
Cool thing about metal guns is that we can swap out the grips whenever we like. Kind of like a new desktop on our computer or phone, they change things up a bit and give us a new, or different perspective on an old friend. G10 are the cat's meow, especially for carry. I have a standard set in that pattern that I swap out from time to time. The only thing that beats them in terms of tactile feel is micarta, at least to me. But then there's something about the richness of wood too.
edit: I just noticed a couple of differences between your Classic and mine. Yours has a DW engraved in front of the Classic engraving. And your cocking serrations are finer than those on mine. Probably several years between production runs.

This is like a year or two after CZ bought out Dan Wesson. Some say the best of the best??? Who knows. I do know that the first one I saw at a gun show and I wanted so bad was like 700 bucks, didn't have it and kick myself for not getting it any way I could. This one came from Wyatts in North Carolina and was close to double that 700.
Rumor was that everyone was telling CZ your making a top quality 1911 and selling for half the price of comparative brands. So rather than jacking the price, they came out with the VBob to replace the CBob. Virtually the same gun near as I could ever tell. This drove the price of the CBob double over night.
Don't know if that's all true or not but all I know is I should have grabbed the first one.

She came out super nice DAO. That’s a real looker there! Glad to hear you took on the challenge and came out on top. You both have very nice DW’s!!! Yes, surprised to see the Colonel sporting grips he did not whittle from an exotic wood, horns or femur bone of some poor, long gone creature.

$700!!!Oh how I long for the good ol days!

I'm looking for an arm extension so I can pat myself on the back, I got my picture oriented correctly. I don't mean to toot my own horn but well ok I won't.

And after a very long time I finally finished up a set of K grips. I think the wood is Bubinga, but not certain. No long gone creatures were harmed in the process, however some tree someplace was brutally bothered in so many ways.
These are hung on my K40 mostly cause it was handy.
Guess I better post over in the emporium, I've sorely neglected that thread for quite a spell.

Man you outdun yourself on those. Gorgeous! If somebody could get a machine to pump those out looking that good I bed they’d sell well. I have no clue how many hours you have into those, but bet they took a looong time. Your checkering is as crisp as crisp gets.
