!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a pair of 14 karat gold & Sterling silver grips made by master jeweler Roberto Hinze of Houston, Texas to fit a Miniart 1/2 scale Colt 1911 or 1911 A1 semi-automatic pistols.  The grip bases are sterling silver overlaid with 14 karat gold.  At the top on each side is a typical Mexican eagle on cactus with a snake in it’s beak.  Below that is an arched rectangular panel, and on the bottom is an Aztec calendar.  These grips were specially made by Mr. Hinze for a customer of mine back when I worked for Imperial Miniature Armory who had the same style grips on his full size 1911 that he had won in a shooting contest.  Roberto made an additional 3 or 4 pair for sale to other IMA customers.  This is one of those pair, & they have never been installed.  There is over an ounce of 14 karat gold in the grips.  The gold alone worth about $1,977.00 in today’s (6/18/2025) market.  Stock # MC-18.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
