Bart, Another thing to beware of......

I posted some photos of three different pairs of orig BW grips a while back. There was a pair of Russian bakelites in the photos, too, if I remember correctly. The Russians are obvious. The next hardest to id are the Franzite replicas because they look like BW's on the front side. The back side is easy to distinguish. The toughest replicas to spot would have correct back sides but I haven't seen a pair myself.
