Roadster, nice pistol! A 1910 is on my short list because I have a 1910 marked holster I was given yrs ago. I like the patina. Didn’t know about getting the million dollar chips fixed. I need to check, I have a couple that are chipped and if numbered I might look into a repair.

Grip repair
Here is the before and after chip repair and cleanup by Mr. Soloman. He is a true artist. This is the second repair he has done for me, and the results are just unbelievable. Thanks Jim!

Jim has fixed a couple pair of grips for me. One was a 1926 Simson and you couldn't tell how awful it had been
1910 looks good to me! Love the patina on it |

To avoid that "dreaded chip", a little judicious sanding on the left grip where the safety lever may rub, so as to give a little clearance between the grip and lever.

Thus, sanding a tiny bit of clearance on area the grip that could potentially encounter the lever is good practice, although ensuring a snug, stable fitment of the left scale in particular is just as important, maybe more.

Many times this small piece is broken by not correctly removing the grips. Bill

The last grip chip that happened to me was while shooting. The chip, however, did not become apparent until the next time I (carefully) removed the grip and the broken piece fell off. What I'm saying is that loose grips should absolutely be addressed immediately, and that, as a matter of course, the ones that don't seem loose should be checked for adequate clearance around the lever's shaft as a preventative measure. This, because a minor looseness of the grip may not even be enough to notice, and that any looseness at all will stress the wood in that area if it's honeymoon-fit against the lever.

1910 all together
Completed. Two 1910 mags, non matching, imperial marked takedown tool, proper early holster, and for cavalry units, a lanyard, and of course the star itself. Ok, ok, I will stop posting pictures of this Luger.
