The condition of the grip screw and escutcheons are not balanced with the condition of the grip panels. Escutcheons might be original, cleaned. But those are minor parts on the gun.

Ok, that's probably because I dug out the grime and cleaned the escutcheons. But like you said, they are minor parts and really not all that important. I will go ahead and clean the grips anyway, they're still soaked in oil and grease and would look better cleaned.
