B W Grips - Page 2

I just purchased a set of Black Widow grips. I thought they looked a bit too glossy and I started to wonder if they were repo's or not. I compared them to another set I have from my 42 byf they were exactly the same except the shine. I went to clean them up because I thought they might have a little oil on them that was making them shine. When I ran hot water on them I noticed I could bend them easy. I tried the same thing to my other grips and they didn't bend. These are plastic and not bakelite. Just thought I would post this here,maybe this will help tell the repo's from the originals. Don
