Chapter 2.2 – Kaziyuki Iinume of Aquapolis 

The Gun Art of Kaziyuki Iinume

A good example is this auto pistol Colt Government 1911A1 in 1:6 scale. This miniature was his entry into the Hunzinger Collection, serial number No721826 from 2015. If the miniature's serial number were stamped on a real piece it would have been made in 1940/41.1)

The Iinume Colt Government miniature is fabricated from 33 parts in chemically blued 925 silver except for the removable clip and the barrel which are stainless steel. The grip panels are smooth polished rose wood, the grip screws sport fire bluing whereas the trigger is strawed.
