Zeke,

The rust on the grip frame is normal for guns that a previous owner carried in his sweaty hand (probably in the heat of battle), and put away without cleaning. A pad of 0000 steel wool and some WD40 or Kroil will clean it up to look better.

It appears that the grips do not fit flush against the frame at the bottom, this is probably what caused the grip to split. A little sandpapering in the right spots will make them fit flush. I can repair and rechecker both grips for $55 including return P&I if you so desire.
