As long as you weren't gonna tell me you had a grip Bob I decided the LP53 was more me so would prefer to invest in that one.

No Nige I am sorry I don't have a grip, but I was asking if you still had enough of the grip parts left to repair or copy them so it could be fixed and suggesting a photo could help.

....and if you still had the small parts out of the broken barrel sleeve (spring and ball I think) as they would not come with the new sleeve and would be needed if one was to be fashioned or 3D printed.

If the mechanism works OK maybe only the grip needs "sorting" to make it a usable pistol but without the "pukka" parts it won't be a Model 10 but a "Bitsa" and to some that has its own appeal!

Ok, cheers Bob, it's now going to a new home and someone who needs the parts so at least one Model 10 will go back in service, it does have the small parts for the sleave but the sleeves themselves seem to be unavailable, the idea of a cheapish restoration was becoming more unlikely by the day and then an LP53 with the barrel weight appeared may do a little tidy up work to get the HW sight fitting nicer but it is a useable pistol, one day I may even find an original rear sight but I can use as is until that day, which may be a while off but ya never know.
