Nice gun, at one time that would have been considered state of the art. Based on the style and parts looks around a late 70's early 80's style.I came across this 1911 without knowing much about it other than it was a custom gun from 1966. Turns out it is customized by Ikey Starks at Sports West in Denver, CO. They are semi-famous for a custom gun they did called the Chuck Taylor Commando Special. This is before that gun line came out, but it is quite a piece.
The bluing on the slide is very shiny, but turning plum colored. From what I understand, that isn't unheard of from the 60's.
The frame is satin nickel and I had to do some cleaning to get the nickel back looking good and the checkering cleaned out. It could still use some work, but I don't want to go crazy.
