Ed,

I just finished posting in the Vickers thread and mentioned this pistol there. I see you found it first! I prefer them in the blue as well but there was something about this that made me think I needed to have it in my collection.

Some of the corners are a little rounded but I, too, was surprised at how crisp the markings were. I think I'll leave these grips on. No 'blingy' grips for me.
