Grips

[mystical_tutor]

A rather interesting project. With a surgical scrub brush and some mild soap they did change a bit. In some unexpected ways.

The left handed grip (far left in the pictures) seems to be different than the pair. Most of the 'crud' on the back was not "on" it but rather a part of it. It almost looks like is a fabric or some such that is fraying. These blotches do not scrub off. With no idea of how repos are made I would vote repo on this one as it seems "fabricated". Note tiny corner frays by the mag release and on the edges. In the pictures with the bottoms and tops of the two left handed grips adjacent it is very apparent they have different qualities or at least one has had a much harder life than the other.

The second interesting thing is that a lot of black came off with the scrubbing. Like all over the bathroom sink and my clothes. The result is a deffinate reddish or brownish hue that is still dark enough that I can not pick it up with my little Coolpix.
