I love it.



Concerning 1911's, my Dad's Colt he took to Korea and Vietnam. We shoot it once a year during Thanksgiving, the day he passed away.



BTW, if I am wrong about the origin of the helmet design, oops.

Fantastic gun and tradition. My dad had a gun that was supposed to be something that I'd inherit, but it was stolen in a burglary when I was 12 or 13. A reasonable facsimile is not the same gun, but still reminds me of him.

I think that could be a Japanese style. It also reminds me of some Spanish, Portuguese, and Mexican pottery, but I think you're correct that it's more Asian based.
