yeah it's sweet. In it's day with the right grips is was REALLY sweet. Here is an example of what it looked like in it's day.
With the grips I found for it, which ARE Colt issued grips (govt) mine will look like this:
The original one piece wood grips, if you can find them, are around $900.00. Repros are $500.
Original grips are worth more than the whole gun without them. this will be a shooter for me, and I can't thank Dan enough.
