Hi David. I can post pics of grip straps if you want to see them. However there are no markings on them.

Hi Mike, David, and George... Thanks Mike, I thought, as did George, that probaly descression is the better part of valor on the new owner grip removal, It's just too easy to turn a nice collectible unit into something less... I think that it's a nice unit same as you, it would look nice in any collection.. Hi David, I am really not sure in todays market, as times are getting tougher, with no end in sight... But, a few years back, that variation was, and still is, I'd guess, a pretty rare example, and I really think it might even now, bring more then 2K stated.. .. A lot of them, 41-42's, were upgraded by un-knowing collectors to Black Widow status back when it first became the craz and BW grip sets were more plentiful... Finding a 41-42 is pretty tough, an obiviously un-messed with one would bring a preminum... I'd like a shot at it if it comes up for sale... as I've never had a chance to have one in hand.. .... Hi George... Been battling the flu for a few days, trying to get right side up again.. Got a surprise for you soon.. best to you, til...lat'r...GT
BTW, it the middle of a mid-night run to the toilet, I had to smile... The thought crossed my mind, The flu or food posioning, certainly is a great lesson in humility.. It treats kings and paupers, rich or poor all the same.. It kinda brings you back to being real happy with life when you get to feeling better.......

Hi Travis, It's hard to assess finish from photos, and yours are not the best, but if this gun is original (which I believe it is), then it is well worth $2,000.00. A 41 42 is a scarce variation.. Regards, Norm

Thanks Norm the finnish is actually pretty good except in just a few spots i will post better pics soon. The gun was passed down to me thirty years ago and is in the same condition as it was when my uncle brought it back from the war. I only take it out and admire it and give it a light coat of oil. I actualy fired it once thirty years ago and it shot flawlessly.
