Morning all.

I’ve bagged myself a nice 4” CP88 in nickel with wood grips, it was originally purchased at the Midland Game Fair back in 1997 off the Brocock stand by a friend, so he’s had it for 20 years !! and its now mine. Bloody nice it is too.

Now, as always when you get a ‘new’ gun, you tend to want to make it your own, I’ve replaced the grip and frame screws with stainless ones and I’m now looking to get the ejector port covered with a nice shiny plate to make it look more realistic.

Which brings me to the reason for my post…

Does anybody know of a source for an ejector port cover that replicates the shiny barrel effect ?

Nick at magic9 has made them in the past for the Colt 1911 variants, but I’m not having any luck getting in touch with him.

Also, my pistol has a definite champagne tint to the nickel plating, is this normal, is it just my un-white-balanced eyes messing with my head ? Its shows silver in photos, but in daylight there is a definite gold sheen there.

Cheers in advance for any pointers.
