Pre War N frame Magna's
Found them at a local gun show today.Have you ever seen such a ugly worn out pair of grips? I hope its possible a forum member can use the large medallions and pat inserts out of them for a custom pair. IMG_0001.JPG

Difficult to do, but if you wanted to pay the money, they may be restorable. I'm not sure I'd try. Probably late 1939.

Cheer up----count your blessings!! You could be holding the gun they were on!
And I'll pretty much guarantee you'll find a happy home for those medallions----if you haven't already.

You got to get a grip on yourself.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Those old shoes have covered a lot of ground over many years. I would not alter them if I had a well-worn N frame to wear them. Otherwise it's a salvage operation. Still, even after harvesting the medallions I would find a place for the old wood.

Now that makes perfect sense. They were too early for my Transitional. Happy ending.

[QUOTE=DWFAN;137494299]Almost anything is possible but those are pretty far gone. There are some fantastic grip makers here that could make you a beautiful pair using the hardware from those. Me, I just fix em.  I'm not that talented.
DW
hope you haven't forgotten old billymaggs pre 27 grips, that need a "krack" repair DW, but those are real beautys there, mine look almost that nice, but some gorilla overtorqued the set that numbers to my little birth year gun, and I love that sense of humility bro.

As part of the deal to own these I had to take some shots of them on the gun:
I like it.
What do you guys think?

They look right at home on that old iron.
If, at some point, you decide to move 'em then I'd like to try them on a old beast of mine

No doubt.
Once I get around to getting the rear sight screw sorted the saga of the $150 Registered Magnum will be complete I think.
Then I just need to save up to buy a nice one to sit next to my shooter here.
