Mike's Email address is [email protected] and he does awesome work. It would just depend on what type of repair you need.

I'm not the original poster, but I have pretty much the same question. Are these salvageable? Thanks in advance.

Yes, your grips can be restored. DWFAN (previous poster) is the Man for the job.
Send him a PM.

DWFAN repaired several broken areas of a pair of target grips from a Model 1950 .45 ACP. You will not be able to tell where they were repaired!

Thank you all for the info. I have PM'ed DWFAN as suggested, hopefully he will be willing to take on the job. It probably doesn't make economic sense to restore these grips, but the gun they belong to has some sentimental value, and that can't always be measured in dollars and cents. Thanks again.
