I special ordered an Ed Brown Executive Elite Centennial five months ago. It came in yesterday.
The EE Centennial is a blued, carbon steel pistol. It is based on the "standard" Executive Elite but with with special markings to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1911, jeweled barrel hood, and Tru-Ivory grips. My custom options included: 10-8 rear sight (0.140" notch), Novak gold bead front, serrated rear of slide, and flush cut barrel.
I'm going to be busy this weekend with family stuff but hope to get to the range. Here are a few pics I took at the office today. They don't do justice to the gun.
Lighting is not too good on this one, but it shows the color of the grips better than any of the others. The grips are really nice. They have the look and feel of real ivory. Speculation is that Tru-Ivory uses bonded ivory.
Brown uses 25 LPI checkering and breaks the points.

Finally, the Brown family:
