Great catch. I would have been on that one like a hounddog on a ham bone at first sight. Once you shoot it I think you will become a member of the 38/44 club. These guns are awsome, I now have 4 and on the quest for more. You were lucky to get the right style grips. Three of my 4 had after market plastic grips and only one had the correct ones number to the gun. There are several forum members that can make those grips like new. Later!
