According to Al Frisch, (one of the best authorities on Hollywood movie guns) he has verified that John Wayne's grips were made by Maurice D. Scarlack of a material Scarlack had developed and he called it Catalin. These grips you see here are made from Catalin. Now to be clear these grips are not a copy of the grips on the Duke’s gun, his grips had finger groves cut into the left grip. The grips you see here do not have the groves. The Catalin material was produced in the 1920s through the 40s and was used on first generation Colt Single actions and to make other things. The 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 near perfect. They could be fit on a second generation, but the fit would be a tad bit small.They look like very old ivory and would beautify any old first generation Colt. They are in nice shape with no cracks or chips. This is the only pair I have. I am always looking, but I have not found any for 5 years. Price: $285.00 |
