Took your list and modified it.

Pre-series 70 (Post War) Colt Government Model
Tightened slide to frame
Bar-Sto barrel (a semi-drop would be fine for me)
polished feed ramp and fully throated barrel
4 pound trigger, med. solid
30 lpi front strap checkering
flat mainspring housing
Heine SlantPro Straight Eight sights
lowered and flared ejection port
Checkered Buffalo Horn grips
factory thumb safety
factory slide release, same with mag release
tuned for reliability (defensive gun)
Blued finish, matte rounds, except for trigger and hammer
carry bevel
match hammer and sear
beavertail grip safety (I could either way with them) I don't get hammer bite with the standard grip safety but a higher hold is always better.

One of those would be nice, but ivory grips. I don't plan on living in New Orleans.
