I recently bought a decent Colt 1917 revolver, but it came with plastic grips. I need an original set of smooth wood grips to restore it to its former glory. Anybody here got a set for sale or trade, or know anybody who has a set for sale?

About the best you can do is to watch Ebay.
1917 grips turn up there from time to time.

Robert, I thought I remembered seeing that Eagle Grips are now making wooden repros for the 1917s. Go on their website,and there is a photo of them on a Colt. INMO,2 problems: a)125.00 price b)they look TOO GOOD for a 1917! I almost think another company is making them,but a helluva lot cheaper,like for "war gamers etc. Good Luck, Bud

Naaaah, I think I'll hold out for an original pair. Ebay does have them from time to time, but I was hoping someone on this forum might just have a pair they would be willing to part with.

There is a dealer here in Florida that specializes in martial arms and hits the local gunshow circuit. He had a box of Original grips for the S&W as well as Colt 1917's and Victory Models. He even had an original US marked holster for my Colt Model 1892 design Service Revolver model of 1901. It was expensive however.

His card is not in my wallet and I will be gone a few days but I will try to post the information.
