New to Me 1900 AE

I now have the 1900 AE in hand (magnificent job Thor - thank you!).

Having looked over the original grip panels, and assessed what I'd need to do to fit a new set of grip panels, I went with new grip panels.

The inletting was pretty straightforward and only took about a half hour. The new grips are a little long at the rear, bottom, and are proud of frame at about the level of the stock lug. I'll need to do a little trimming, and then reconfigure the new trailing edges of the grip panels. Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to do that.

The new grips on the restored pistol look very well indeed.
