Optional note:
Are you sending a tracing?:
YES! I want to assure proper size/shape. Tombstone is responsible for fit to tracing. Tracing will show hole pattern. **************************************
NO. I will be responsible if I choose the wrong size grip. I will measure my gun and compare to the listed specs. If I order a grip that is the wrong size or shape, I agree that it is NOT returnable. *****************************************************
I already mailed a tracing BEFORE I placed this order.
 
Quantity:
 
The Colt Double Action Army of 1878 is a larger version of the 1877 Lightning or Thunderer with somewhat better mechanical strength. These grips are from an old original that had little wear. They look authentic in black or in aged ivory color (but anyone can tell by taking them off that they are tougher, solid polyurethane and not gutta percha or hard rubber, or real ivory).

These grips may look smooth in the pictures, but they have a fine checkered pattern (and they are not smooth because they also have the logo and the V-shaped pattern on the lower half, in any case).



The shape is unique to the gun. If you have existing grips, it might be a good idea to make a pencil tracing and mail that to me, so I can compare your grips to the size of the ones I make. There is some tolerance in the making of the gun frames, and of course the grips themselves may shrink or warp with age (not the ones from Tombstone, unless you mean "age" as in milleniums). So if you have grips that are slightly small for the gun, and want a better fit, send the tracing but suggest that it should be 1/32 larger here or there, and point out where. Maybe my mold will be big enough.
