Roper Grips?

[beb42503]

This may be the wrong place to put this but it is where all the discussion of Roper's goes on. I have found a Hi-Standard on Gunbroker: Auction # 86300204. It appears that it might wear Roper's. Were Roper's made for auto's also? By the way if anyone wishes to bid on this fire away as I have just bought one of these old Hi- Standards and can't afford another right now.

I've seen pics of Roper's on Hi-Standards, so I do know they were available.

I looked at the auction and can't tell for sure if the ones pictured are wood or plastic.

I know the Franzite company made a plastic target version that looked identical. Their grips have a "silver" Franzite medallion on both grip sides.

The material on these grips looks like high grade black walnut to me. Checkering pattern looked similar to Roper's but I don't make any claims one way or the other. I knew there was a lot of Roper experts in the this forum.

Plastic. Guaranteed. I have several pair just like them.

One more thing, Supermatic's were shipped with plastic target grips.

There are indeed Ropers made for High Standard pistols, made out of wood.

Yep, the plastic copies made by Franzite.
