    There's also a specific type of blued steel that was on a 1918

    https://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?11602-Correct-Finish-for-Colt-1911-c-1918

    I would definately seek out a capable gun finisher.

    The gun shop I deal with is Sierra Arms in Modesto. Peter (owner) is actucally very knowledgable about 1911s. And this is the type of thing he would totally geek out on. It would be worth giving the shop a call (but you definately want to talk to Peter specifically) and tell him what you have and ask him the best course of action would be.

    If that were my gun... I would 100%, absolutely, positively, take it down to Peter and start there.

    1818? Must be a typo, because I'm confident you know the Model of 1911 was first tested around 1909.

    You want one of the best?

    I've sent my old Python, as well as several CZ's and even one of my Nighthawks to them.

    You'll wait awhile, but it'll be worth it.

    Don't have pics on me and my guns are locked away in storage but I stole these pics from my own post from another forum -

    Last firearm I got refinished as I've left all the rest in stock form. Went to Cajun Gunworks for a complete build but not before getting it hard chrome by Fords.

    Downtown Sac would work great for that. Last time I went to a conference there I did a little craft brew walk. Went to at least a few breweries and a bunch of places with great selection.

    They checked my serial number (which they had on file) and found out that mine was in the batch of bad seals. ARB is apparently making it pretty difficult for the shops to get approval and paid, but they're doing it (like 3 months later).
    I've got no complaints about WFO, and they're pretty close to me, so that's a plus.
