I removed the checkering, gave them a more P.08 cross section, and re-checkered in finer pattern. Much more friendly to hold and shoot--the old ones embossed the checkering into the web of my hand after a few rounds--and I got the casting place to mix a color which mimics the color of the "red Swiss", made, IIRC, early after the Swiss re-design of the grip frame to create its easier-to-machine, distinctive look.
My NIB 1971 29/70 has the same issue. Have to use a glove to save the skin on my thumb. How can I get a set of these grips? Is this what Vintage is now offering?

Thanks
