Default Thanks for the interest, but...

Thanks for all the PMs, emails, phone calls etc. interest in my revolver. About a dozen of you have asked if I am interested in selling the original Roper grips from the Hand Ejector. After careful consideration, I have decided to continue to offer this revolver together with the Roper grips which have been on the revolver since the 1930's. It seems to me that those of us who own these early guns have an obligation to maintain the authenticity and history they represent. Yes, it would be easy to strip the Ropers off and sell them for $1,500 on Ebay. But I would feel guilty doing so. Thanks for reading this and good luck to you.
