To be clear I am not saying these “were” John Wayne's grips. and too also to be clear this add is for the grips only. “Does not include my 1st gen. Colt.” According to Al Frisch, (one of the best authorities on Hollywood movie guns) he has verified that John Wayne's grips were hand made by Maurice D. Scarlack of a material Scarlack had developed and he called it Catalin.This pair of grips are grips that Scarlack made. I am sure that these grips once had a decal (now missing) that was the same as the ones I show here in this add. It was marked "Maurice D. Scharlack handmade grips Corpus Christ, Texas" on the label inside of the grips. (The grips you get will not have this decal.) These grips have the finger grooves cut into the left grip like you see on the grips John Wayne used on his personal movie guns. The Catalin material was produced in the 1920s through the 40s and was used on first generation Colt Single actions in the early movie industry for cowboy movie guns. This material is Catalin and is often mistakenly called Bakelite. Click on Catalin for more information.This set of grips here is on a first generation Colt and the fit is perfect. They could be fit on a second generation, but the fit would be a tad bit smaller. Almost could not be noticed. They look like very old ivory and would beautify any old first generation Colt. They are in perfect shape with no cracks or chips. A one of a kind collectable and almost impossible to find and these are in this perfect condition. SOLD |
