The kit looks like a saturn or one of its twins.
Gun metal color. http://www.woodturningz.com/Slimline_Pen_Kits.aspx
Slimline Pen Kit - Gun Metal (Fancy)
These 7mm slimline pens are now offered in this beautiful Gun Metal Plating! Gun Metal Plating looks exactly like "Black Titanium" at a fraction of the cost! Depending on the lighting and the angle it is viewed at it changes color from light to dark. Another way to describe Gun Metal would be "Smoky Chrome".

It looks like a 24k gold slimline with a comfort center band. It's easy enough to swap out, I've done it. It makes for just a little bit fatter slimline. Compare the size of the final, otherwise it's just a comfort without the cushion tip.
As for the blank, no clue.

You hit it, Ryan. The comfort, made without the "cushion" grip (black rubber piece).
No idea what blank it is,

If I was to guess on the blank it would be this one: http://www.pennstateind.com/store/WXMP06.html

Not only are those centers easy to swap out, but the only differences between the fancy slimline kit and the comfort kit is the fatter center band and teh rubber grip that we all throw in the trash.
The kit is a comfort. Due to photo quality, I can't tell if it's silver (chrome), gold, or gunmetal.
The blank looks kinda like a mica pearl Star Spangled Banner blank from PSI. I don't think that it's Woodcraft's Super Hero. Of course, it could have been made from someone around here, in which case, they will probably identify themselves pretty quickly.
Yep, Ed and Ryan are right. It's a comfort grip kit made without the rubber 'comfort grip'. The blank will be much trickier to narrow down, however...

Don't throw it in the trash! It makes a great OOPS recovery for a slim that has a really BAD blowout. I salvaged a really nice modified slim with no CB the other day when the gnarly mulberry blank exploded and blew the whole tip off the lower barrel. I just turned the end off and put one of those recycled comfort grips on.
