Did Dan Wesson make any guns for Mitchell besides the Titan?

Man, I was gonna ask you the same question...  I'm only aware of Titans, but I'm not aware of a lot of things.

Did they make any 1911s for Mitchell?  I've seen a few Gold Series Mitchell's that look very much like a Pointman.  I've heard rumor that DW made them but I don't know for sure.  The frames are marked as being made in California but DW could have branded them that way.

Anybody know?

Somewhere I posted up a couple pics of the 1911 Mitchells some one pointed out the fit and finish was not up to Dans!  Mitchell had several different makes it seems from the HS 22 semi autos to SA revolvers.   I will dig out the info I have a look again!

I read a thread on the 1911 forum that the Gold Series were made by DW during Bob Servas ownership.  Only applies to the Gold Series from what I could find.  The earlier 95 series was crap from what was said on that forum. 

They look like a Pointman and the fit/finish on the Gold Series looks nice, in pictures anyway.

Never held one in my hand so I don't know.
