I put an 1892 8mm Lebel revolver on hold over the phone. The store rates it's condition as 75%. But they didn't mention that it has Lexan grips. At least it looks like Lexan. They're see-thru grips that were done by someone who knew what they were doing. They're faded, which makes me think they're old. Like I said, they were done very well, but...Lexan? I took it off hold and the store has since changed the listing to include "Lexan grips."
I'm going back for another look today. The gun itself is in great shape. Reproduction grips are available online for $55.
Anyone ever come across Lexan grips (or whatever the material is)?
