The 44spl. on the left was a pawn shop purchase my Dad made sometime in the late 60's and
was gifted to me (after a range work session to see if it should be gifted) in 1974.
That is revolver is how it was when I got it; barrel shortened and front sight block sweated on and
left without blue.
A 1917 SW is on the right. I picked this up a month ago at a LGS as you see it. I do not know
who did the work, but it is "period correct" in taste and execution.
I shot a quick and dirty Out of the Box to match video with it here...https://youtu.be/uIi3jdqf6kk
Cecil, I will bring my big Tupperware tubs of grips to class next weekend. Mark Frike and Chuck Haggard helped me get them sorted a couple of months ago.
Looking forward to seeing you again! :)
Back in the mom & pop/brick & mortar gun/fishing store days, they'd generally have a sale once a year when all the old unsold stuff would get trotted out; if it was marked down low enough, it would sell. If not, it would get trotted out again next year (repeat as necessary). Franzite grips in the faux stag plaastic were probably seen in the biggest numbers, but Mershons were there too. The Rogers and early Hogue grips were apparently too new or too few for me to recall.
I am continually amazed at some of the stuff that shows up on Ebay in a factory box, when I know damned well it shipped from the factory before my mom and dad got their first color television set.
Mine aren’t a u-notch. It’s a typical right angle one. Attachment 66692
What is the difference between the Mershons and the Presentations?
