hmm, noticed cabelas was selling an 1860 london model... had a steel backstrap and trigger guard of the correct navy profile... did some researching online and i actually did find a couple 1860s imported into the UK by colt that appeared to have navy grips... so though rare, may have existed... however, i heard it wasnt uncommon to put navy grips on an 1860 anyway in the 19th century... so this is what i ordered from cabelas.. im thinking i might antique the finish though.. with the steel grip frame it should look REALLY nice with the antiqued finish
also.. standard 1860 armies just dropped in price, only $180 at cabelas for a steel one... mine cost $70 more... but i would pay that much alone on a new backstrap, and another $50 for a trigger guard if i were to switch the grips over myself.. which is something i would have done, so this will save me some money
