This is a blank set of two panels and two spacers plus a
mounting screw kit. I do not drill the holes or install
the screw. This kit is for gunsmiths and hobbyists to
build their own grips for unusual pocket pistols similar
to the 1910 Browning in shape and size.
The panels are 3 inches tall, 1-1/4 inch wide at the top,
and 1-3/8 wide at the bottom. There is no hole, so you
can locate it anywhere required. Some guns can use the
4-40 through-the-handle mounting kit, and some will have
to use their own screws which thread into holes in the
frame. (I have no idea what thread all the auto pistols
in the world might have, so I can't help you there: if you
don't have the screws, a gunsmith can help.)
The little spacer blocks are to keep the grip from turning
and are used for guns where the original had a raised
portion on the back, rather than or in addition to a
locating pin. I send instructions on how to fit these
to the gun and epoxy them to the back of the grips.
You can use common wood-working tools to shape the blanks,
such as a scroll saw, band saw, file, sandpaper, belt and
disk sanders, and drills. The material cuts nicely and
takes a good polish with a buffer. I also send info on
how to do that.
The grips have been fitted to Walther blow-back pocket
pistols and other early autos that were similar in size
to the very popular 1900-1910 Brownings. The European
market was awash with copies and sort-of copies of Browning's
pistol, as produced in the Belgian FN factory. They often
had unusual features but most of them were quite similar
in the size of the grip, if not the exact shape.
