Standard Manufacturing is proud to announce the new full Damascus 1911. Using techniques dating back many centuries to medieval times, the frame and slide are hand forged by old-world artisans to make a chain pattern Damascus. The Master Gunsmiths at Standard Manufacturing then take the Damascus blocks and make each 1911 individually. The Standard Manufacturing Damascus 1911 requires many labor-intensive hours of polishing, stoning, and fitting, which only the most experienced gunsmiths can accomplish; as such, very few gunmakers in the world have the capability or craftsmen to make a gun of this level. .45 ACP, Walnut Grips
