I got robbed

So, my house was broken into while I was at work.  Needless to say in the past few weeks I've gone overboard on home security and surveillance.  A raccoon can't walk across my property now without me getting an alert on my phone, and it would take a battering ram to get through my doors.  Should have done all that years ago, but hindsight and all that.

Anyway, to the point of this post.  Among other things, one of my guns was stolen.  Although there's basically a zero percent chance I'll ever see it again, I figured I should post it anyway in case anyone ever does come across it.  It was a scratch built 1911.  It was the first scratch built gun I ever made.  All the small parts are from a Sarco kit, and the frame, slide, and barrel were all made by me.  It's a straight blowback in 22LR, and the frame and slide are aluminum.  The frame was made in two pieces as left/right halves.  Some of the pins were replaced with screws, and I added in some additional screws to hold the halves together.

Unfortunately, because it's a scratch build there are no serial numbers or brand marks on it.  The only thing really distinctive about it is the two piece frame and it's all aluminum construction.  I barely even have any pictures of it.  These are the only two pictures I have of the finished product:
