Quality control wouldn’t allow for a diamond not perfectly centered, that’s just silly. When I go to a show and am looking at guns I generally look at the factory stocks before the gun. Factory stocks are commonly flawed. Way to much is made of the legendary quality control, these were a product made to be shipped and sold, a very high quality product no doubt but this often referenced image of guns and grips being hand built is just wrong IMO. They were manufactured in a very refined process but they were produced much like any other product. Sorry that’s a rant I suppose !
Also the scale of these Ladysmith grips is such that comparable work on them is at least several times more difficult than even J frame grips.
