Back in my cowboy action days, I found this pair of Gen 3's that had been engraved by a retired Weatherby engraver living in TX. The bud I got them from was from TX. I sent them to Nutmeg Sports for dead elephant grips and deep dish medallions. I sent a grip frame from another Colt I had shaped from Rosewood and they duplicated the shape.
They're .38 Spec., have some of the nicest irridescent case colors I've seen on Gen 3's.
Last photo is the Gen 3 .357 grip frame I shaped from rosewood and had checkered. It was the prototype for the ivory grips.
