I don't dispute that much of todays production is CAD/CAM, but I guarantee you that a good die maker/jeweler can create a wax model that is every bit as detailed and precise as machine made. I have seen incredible detail in hand made wax. Also, I did not mean that the grips would have been made by lost wax casting. The wax model would have been used to make a female mold in a more permanent substance. Then it would be possible to crank out many sets (lets see if any more turn up).
