I'd venture to guess many 1911 owners have a few (or more) sets of grips stashed away. I certainly do and I'm inclined to add to that stash. I recently picked up another set of grips and before a set goes to the stash I needed to do some swapping about of sets already on some guns.
I'll be donig the deed with these two:

I'm feeling pretty good with their new look:

Oh yeah. That worked well. I just took the fake stag (kind of cheesy) off my Cbob and hung some Zebrawood on it.

Like to get some real stag like you got right there. I do like thin on a 1911 and that makes it a bit challenging. One reason for the fake stag was thin.

Greg, it's amazing what a simple change will do……WOW FACTER!
The convict agrees.

Those Marine emblem grips do look mighty fine on both guns, no doubt on that.

They did improve the 1911 A1 a bunch. And that Colt which looked great with the Marine grips, looks awesome with the stag, but of course everything looks awesome with stag or bone or antler.

I love 'em both! I put the fake stag on a few in the past (all I could afford) and WOW! Man they sure do make a 1911. I like the different color tone on. your controls vs. the frame too. Beautiful Colt you've got there! (Not that I'd kick the Springer out of bed either).
