Beretta 92 Centennial. dust cover was straightened to M9 style and trigger job by Wilson Combat. Its a SAO, all steel gun with pre and post travel screws. The frame was case hardened by Ford's and the grips are Turkish walnut from KSD, though I had to do a lot of work to fit them.
I asked for the billboard to be removed but not sure yet why they didn't. I think it was pretty deep, actually

My opinion means nothing, but I don't often hand out compliments. That is a handsome pistol. The mottling looks like some exotic granite or agate and the grips make a sophisticated tone-on-tone finish. I think an old P210 or BHP would make an excellent candidate for this, too.
One other thing-if the slide were similarly finished, I think it'd be too garish and I would refinish the grip screws.
