.38 Military & Police Model of 1905-4th change


-------------------------------After looking at the previous guns, I know this ain't so pretty. But, here it is.
Looks better in person. Didn't have any indirect light; had to use the flash. And the danged flash shows every bit of character.
Yep, at some point in the past, someone bobbed the hammer. Previous owner said the original grips had been sanded down when he got it and he lost them. Other than that, it's very nice. Doesn't appear to have been re-blued. Slight patina on the backstrap. Some holster wear on the high points. Bore is clean and lockup is tight.
This is going to be a shooter and worked into my carry rotation after I push some rounds downrange. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can get some period diamond grips?
