If those grips are worth a bit over $2000, what do you suppose these are worth?

About $2.98...?

I sold a set of very similar HSc grips for $250 on eBay about a year and a half ago. Maybe I blew it!!!??

Seriously, I cannot imagine that they are worth $2000. These were turned out in post war Japan. Kind of like nickled Lugers were in post war Germany, and Tijuana engraved pistols.

A friend who's wife is Japanese-American, told me that the Dragons symbolize Luck and Longevity. The HSc was purchased from a vet who captured it in WWII. Was later recalled to Korea and took it with him. He had the grips made while on R&R in Japan.
