Brent, the left gun is a Simson and yes it does show gaps in the picture that are a lot less visible in the flesh (I may be needing new glasses). The AyA on the right is as it looks, no disguise. The gun you liked is the Beretta S3EL engraved by Giuseppe Bregoli.

You are absolutely right that the gaps are really not important and my post was intended as a light banter more than anything. I am very happy with my doubles and am not looking at their minor flaws but at their overall good looks.

I never forget a test that was done in a Dale Carnegie course: a large white sheet with a small black dot in the middle was placed in front of the audience and they were asked what they saw; everybody saw the black dot, no one saw a white sheet with a small black spot. As someone said above, human nature.
