Default FS: Grips 32 DA Topbreak

I have for sale 1 pr. original hard rubber grips to fit 32 DA Topbreak. Checkering is worn pretty smooth but no cracks. One really tiny chip in top point that does not show in photos & I don't think will show when mounted.

These also match up profile with Ladysmith 22 HE Second change (reportedly also first change) but slightly thicker & locating pin is off slightly. I am confident that these could be adapted to a Ladysmith, by altering the pin hole, but I do not choose to alter these antique original grips. If you choose to alter these it is at your own risk.

The grips have the original escutcheons in place. Threads are good (I checked with the screw from my Ladysmith) but there's no screw included.

Price is $25 shipped & insured.




I'm measuring with my dial caliper 2.30" from the bottom flat to the top point.


The width across the top points is .8060"

Width at the grip screw (about the widest part )1.026"

First post I'll take it, then PM me.
I take paypal or USPS MO.

I will double check but I believe these are all around too big for the first and second model Ladysmith. I will go check to make sure.

I bought these grips as fitting a 32 DA Topbreak. I did not take them off the original gun so I have to take the word of the guy I bought them from. Ideally, someone who needs them for a 32 DA Topbreak will want these. They measured so close, I was hoping they would direct fit my Second model Ladysmith HE... I did try them. I forgot about the locating pin (my bad). My findings are honestly reported below.

Like I said: "These also match up profile with Ladysmith 22 HE Second change (reportedly also first change) but slightly thicker & locating pin is off slightly. I am confident that these could be adapted to a Ladysmith, by altering the pin hole, but I do not choose to alter these antique original grips. If you choose to alter these it is at your own risk."

I matched my (cracked) existing Ladysmith Second change grips with these & the OUTSIDE of the grips absolutely DO MATCH exactly. I was excited!
When I mounted them on the frame of my LS2, on the existing pin on the grip butt, there is a hair line of light at the top. It also locates the grips slightly too far back, so the front & back strap are not aligned. These grips are slightly thicker than my original (but cracked) Ladysmith grips.

I honestly think these would fit nicely on a Second Model Ladysmith HE by altering the pin hole in the grips... but in my judgement I am better off with the original grips numbered the gun even though cracked. If I had no grips, I would feel differently.
These grips have no cracks, just honest wear on the checkering. I am not going to guarentee someone elses workmanship and I would not expect anyone else to either.

You can get your old numbered grips repaired by Don Furr - he recently repaired two .32DA grips for me and did an excellent job for a reasonable price. His email is [email protected]
