Hah, I've never seen a set of his Kearsarge style on the secondary market. I'd love to snap them up if they did come up. At the moment I'll just have to content myself with a wait for a set with my initials

OK RK, here you go.......I think the pictures will enlarge if you click on them. Sometime last year I bought this William Brown holster rig for my matched pair of 4.5” Reg Mags. It is carved in an oak leaf and acorn pattern. Well then along came this thread; a light came on and it occurred to me that I needed to put KB Kearsarge grips with the oak leaf pattern on the Reg Mags to complete the set. I quickly discovered that KB Kearsarge grips are apparently as rare as the original Kearsarge grips. Through the kind generosity of fellow Forum member Bower (thank you Rich) I have been able to acquire one set. Here they are on one of the Reg Mags with the holster rig. If anyone out there can give me a lead on another KB Kearsarge set for my other Reg Mag I would be most grateful. To my knowledge William Brown and Keith Brown are not related, but their products are definitely a match made in heaven!

Think I missed a hot lunch looking at these. The thought of having pictures while being made is fantastic. True works of excellence plus. Bump it all you want, Sir.

Holy Moly Terry,
Keith's Kearsage Grips look amazing on that rig! I don't want to hijack this thread, but as a fine leather lover, please tell me something about the rig.

I put a “like” on each picture since we don’t have a tab for “adore.” Is there no end to Mr Brown’s talent? Those oak leaves give the grips a kind of old school Germanic flavor, and being of Germanic descent myself, they really strike a chord in my heartstrings.
