Very cool, a 1903 hammerless .32 transformed to a mini 1911.

Bob Loveless did a similar conversion to a Smith Wesson 41.

An interesting project. Bill Laughridge of Cylinder and Slide went the other way and enclosed the hammer of a 1911, creating a giant's .45 pocket hammerless.
I still remember the Shotgun News ad for a Loveless M41 at a dealer about two hours drive time away. Before I could point up a trip, the store burned down.

This conversion took knowledge and skill to perform no doubt, but if I'm understanding correctly he basically added an exterior hammer to a Pocket "Hammerless" gun. Don't know if that's warrants to it being call a "mini 1911" consider that Colt also made a Pocket "Hammer" model during the same era.
