Fresh from Costa Rica - Spalted Cherry Grips

[Jimfern]

I just got these. the quality is nearly as great as the grips that came with my Les Baer TRS.

 

[Pat Riot]

Very nice!

 

[Shawn Dodson]

SPALTED? Hmmm...

 

[Dan-O]

I like an arched msh in my 1911’s too.

purdy grips too by the way

Look great on your Norinco M1911A1!

I had those same Millet sights on a Colt Government model except I had the slide milled so the rear was lower into the slide like the old BoMar installation---makes
for a cleaner installation.

 

[George P]

Very nice grips!

 

[nofendertom]

I have never seen that kind of wood---light colored grips look good on that 1911.

 

[Ks5shooter]

Nice

 

[SHOOT1SAM]

Very nice. Is that a design in the grips, or natural? I can’t tell.

It's part of the wood; that's 'spalted'

I wasn't familiar with the term so I looked it up. I learnt sump'n new today already

Very mice

I had to do a double take for a second when I first saw the thread, I initially thought it said salted wood... I had visions of rusty grip frames under the wood like the old Browning problems caused.

You made a great choice, those are sweet.

Stay safe.
