#2. Here is another. This one is 3rd Gen Storekeepers model. Link below is last time it was in Rock Island Auction in 2018. I have box and paperwork, etc.
Not sure sir. Let me post some pictures closer up of those spots to help figure out what’s going on.The storekeepers model looks a bit off in places. The patent dates and Rampant Colt are half buffed off. The barrel address looks buffed as well. The grip frame is a poor fit to the frame. Even in the shopped RIA pictures you can see some of this.
I noticed before how the dates and rampant seem to fade (buff). I just thought maybe error when machine pressed? Not sure about address, and grips could be custom made by other? Do all factory grips have the medallion? I have not attempted to take grips off to check under cause don’t want to damage. Thoughts? Should I? Thanks for response.Not sure sir.

Hahaha, I put those on to keep cylinders from turning. Over time it leaves a line. My wife has combo to the safe also. Last thing I need is for her to open safe around family/friends etc. and someone grab to look at and start turnin the cylinders. It is my understanding that there are those who factor turned cylinders in when purchasing….(if there is a line from cylinder turning)I am always curious about the wisdom of tie wraps. Someone, somewhere down the line has to figure out how to cut them off without accidentally damaging the finish with the cutting tool.
I don't think I have the gonads to buy High and ask questions later . Maybe gifts ?Geez, short time ownership on some high-end hardware. It must break your heart to cull. What gives?? 😉
I prefer the ones I can shoot.Geez, short time ownership on some high-end hardware. It must break your heart to cull. What gives?? 😉
If mine mind you . I would have to look under the hood so to speak by carefully taking the grips off . I don't know for what good that would do but that's just me .I noticed before how the dates and rampant seem to fade (buff). I just thought maybe error when machine pressed?

In this case you have some, very nice and expensive guns. If you have to ask, "should I?". I would recommend you don't.Take the guns apart?
Agreed. The problem come in when people insist on pulling them as tight as they'll go. And they make it worse by using the heavy duty ties. That isn't necessary to stop the gun being cycled by curious tire kickers. Just leaving a bit of slack in the tie solves the problem.I am always curious about the wisdom of tie wraps.
