Does anyone have pics of an ash1 with standard black/tan g10 and one with hand shaped black/tan g10?

Also, does the plain black g10 fade over time or does it keep it's color?

Thanks

If there are any, they were limited issue such as a ganza offering or something like that; I think I have seen some smooth black/tan G-10, but not much. Black/tan G-10 on regular production ASH1s was only offered in the magnum size.

I have never noticed any fading in black G-10, on Busses or other brands. I have a Busse BAD with black G-10 that I use in the kitchen, and I have let it lie in the sink, sometimes soaking in soapy water, and it has not hurt the G-10.
 
I don’t have any hand shaped G10 ASH1s (but now maybe I need to look for one ;) ) I do have more than a couple with magnum grips and a “couple” of these may be black and tan. I don’t have photobucket access from here but I just lifted this pic out of another thread I posted in…


They are magnum G10 there under the 1911. I have black and tan hand shaped on one of my NMSFNOs if you are looking for the colour/look of it….
 
Yes... you are suprised I know.... I mean who would have thought that *I* would have such a thing.....

Got this hand-smoothed G10 ASH1 from Member K. Glanzer a few years ago. These are his photos...
