Assume these grips were hand checkered? It would explain the variation? Surely you’re not going to make two molds with guns made that close together. I assume the horn grips logo was hand carved, then they tried vulcanite and hand checkered then deciding they wanted a checkered grip made a mold? A bit of a shame that the mold grips they decided on were so thin and not really that precisely made. Probable outsourced?Originally Posted by Mobiasstrip
My recently acquired nickel plated Westley Richards Highest Possible serial number 87 also has half way house grips.
Vulcanite and checkered but also with the WR logo. Similar to those on serial 45 owned by Steve but not identical. Another example of transitional grip experimentation?
Fascinating.
