Went to a local gun show today and managed to find a deal. Bought this nice little byf 41 for $675. It had on a pair of DWM wood grips that I removed and installed the fake Black Widow grips. This is the first pair of aftermarket plastic grips that actually fit! Although the boarders are too large. It also had a nice police mag aluminum bottom with a blued sheet metal tube. Gun is a solid 95%+ and all matching. Serial number is 712a proofed double E/135.

WOW, Doug, Nice pistol! Good looking..nice condition. Were the DWM grips in good condition? They might be worth a bit. Good to know there are still deals out there! Jerry Burney [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Actually the grips are near mint, no chips just a minor flattening of the diamonds. The numbers are hard to read though; you must magnify to make them out. I figured that the grips were worth $75-100 and the mag to the right guy at $100+. The deals are out there you just have to go to every dog gun show because the one time you don't go you'll miss the deal of a lifetime! <img src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" border="0" alt="[soapbox]" />
