Greetings friends and fellow Smithophiles.
I seem to have become enamored with round butt Smith revolvers.
And of course that means grips ' or Stocks' to go with them.
When I paid $325. for a pair of K round Ivory grips in June I went
beyond what I ever expected to.
So, I wanted to create a picture thread where we All could display our
prized K and L frame round butt grips.
Post as you will, questions and comments are always welcome.
Good luck,
Allen Frame
The K magna Elephant Ivory found at the S&W.C.A. meeting in June.
Very difficult to photograph and get the character of the ivory.
Sperm Whale tooth created by Patrick Grashorn for me in 2008.
Still a work in progress.
Oyster shell ( or Pearl ) found at a local show.
Another difficult one to photograph and capture the character.
Old Tylers' Tru-Fit Butterscotch Micarta. These were crafted proud all around and meant
to be fit to your particular gun.
These have not been modified since Melvin made them many years ago.
Notice how they change color depending on the lighting.
Eagle Sambar Stag from India. Often one panel has more 'figuring' than the other.
They really dress up a plain-jane old model 65.
Craig Spegel Checkered Cocobolo boot grips. I absolutely love these.
They look like snake skin in person.
K square target grips resurrected into K smooth targets.
Herrets checkered walnut. A full size grip for those with big hands.
Factory K round ' target' stocks. As came originally on this model 547.
2 different pair of K-L frame fingergroove combats.
Both of Goncalo Alves wood.
These can be found with more pronounced fingergrooves and less for a smaller overall profile.
And of course, factory checkered Magnas with a Tyler 3R T-grip.
