Yeah I saw one or two on GA that had the grips you describe. I really prefer these so I guess they'll stay. The frame has polished edges and the slide is showing it's age but overall really nice. Maybe I can have some pics and a range report by the weekend.:biglaugh:RandyColt said:Very good price! That's a very hard to find pistola. I doubt the grips are original, should have been brown plastic with a pony on in those days. I had #45xx that had plastic grips.
