Hi George, this one was in the property of someone who had had it for at least a few long years, then a quick sale to a middleman who put it up for auction on gunbroker, when I got it it had aftermarket cheapie grips that had been done in Tru-Oil or a similar surface-building varnish blend...

I figured it may well have had worse / plastic grips on it at one point, but that's the way I got it.

The "decent looking" ebay grips (shown in the photos) were only a slight upgrade, as they were fat at the edges and sloppy around the safety, "argg". But the grain is a bit nice and I don't have that much money in it.

Any other feedback is much appreciated,

Frank H.
