Here's the picture with my other pair of .32s, and Eugen's grips mounted. Turns out the grips that were on it are actually, genuine Franzite! Which means they've been on the gun for some years most likely. Wonder as to the how/why of it all.

Anyway, the gun looks even better in person that it does in pictures, the BBL was dirty but cleaned right up and looks brand new! The piece does have a broken firing pin, which isn't terribly surprising - a re-pop FP is on order.

Now this may not be "news" to anyone here, but my research led me to believe that keeping control of the FP and its spring during reassembly can be a chore. Not true - see this short video for details:

Haven't seen that little detail about the FP spring assembly retaining notch anywhere else - makes it easy-peasy.
