It's been a long time since I came up to a gun show table and saw this kind of jackpot. It's "The grips are worth as much as the price on the whole gun" jackpot. These beautiful vintage "popcorn" sambars were on a 2013 mfg. blue Blackhawk .45LC 4 5/8" bbl in like new condition. The "I'll take $500 for it" got it OTD for me. My original intent was to sell the grips and have a really cheap Blackhawk. After I put the sambars on my 1976 mfg. "200th YEAR Liberty" .45LC 7 1/2" model that plan got reversed...."Sell the gun and keep the grips" !! They are a big 'ol comfy handful of excellent fitting GORGEOUS vintage sambar. The "bookend" to this story is that when I bought this 1976 Blackhawk for $325 12 years ago it also had gorgeous sambar. Those grips made it my "free" Blackhawk. I also have a "free" 1957 mfg Single-Six thanks to sambar grips.
